You will engage in a variety of learning activities on-campus prior to departing the United States for your international experience.

On Tour |

During the international experience, you may tour businesses, visit business assistance organizations, engage in learning and social activities with university students from the countries we visit, attend the Pan Pacific Business Association Conference in San Jose, Costa Rica and see the sights.
