Global Business Programs

Global Business Programs provide students with exciting opportunities to expand their education to include business instruction in an international setting.  Participation in a Global Business Program helps to prepare students to work and compete in an international business environment.  Developing an understanding of the world beyond the boundaries of the United States will be a huge advantage as you begin your career.

Applications for Summer 2011 programs will be accepted through Monday, October 25, 2010.

When will I know if my GBP application was accepted?  Program participants should expect an acceptance letter no later than Monday, November 1, 2010.

If you have any questions or concerns about Global Business Programs application process in general, please contact Global Business Programs

We look forward to working with you more closely in the future.

Travel Warning Policy 

Current Travel Warnings are posted by the U.S. State Department on their website.

Travel Warnings are different from Consular Information sheets which are available for every destination country. Students should always consult State Department consular information sheets for countries in which they plan to travel or study before finalizing plans to go there. These consular information sheets contain more detailed safety and security information, as well as other important health, political, and other information that students should be familiar with. Consular information sheets are also posted by the U.S. State Department.

Other Valuable Sources to consult:

Overseas Security Advisory Council

Canada: Department of Foreign Affairs

Australia: Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade (Travel Advisories)

United Kingdom's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (select travel advice)
