Global Academic Travel Experience

1-3 credits · Fuqua School of Business

Combines classroom study of one or more foreign countries with a visit and observation of the region studied. Participants work with a faculty member at Fuqua to learn about the business and organizational systems of one or more countries. They prepare intensively to engage in meaningful discussion with overseas managers and leaders. While overseas the study tour group visits corporations, nonprofit organizations, U.S. or host government agencies, and educational institutions, as well as cultural and historical sites. Upon return to the U.S., students are responsible for completing a written project. The first section of the course is academic and is a prerequisite for the second section of the course that makes up the travel piece of the class.
