The business environment is becoming increasingly global, and companies are urgently looking for new employees who have global experiences. The opportunity for immersive international experiences through Gies College of Business can prepare you to work and compete in the global business environment.

The Gies-specific immersive trips and study abroad programs are affordable, provide college credit, and can easily integrate into your schedule without affecting the graduation timeline. The dedicated staff members in the Gies Business Study Abroad Office strive to make the entire experience smooth and seamless for our students.

Throughout its programs, Gies Business fosters a community of cooperation where ideas can cross-pollinate across disciplines, across cultures, and across borders. Gies maintains international partnerships with world-renowned business schools. In fact, more than 53% of students participate in an international experience during their Gies education. Many study abroad during their sophomore or junior year; others participate in one of the many short-term international programs available throughout their time at Gies.
