Academic Global Immersions
These trips — scheduled between academic terms — provide students with an in-depth look at the political, economic, and business culture of another country. Professors from our faculty lead each group, and lend their expertise, insights, and often, personal connections, to the experience.

The ultimate international academic experience, this program enables you to study entrepreneurship and management at three institutions on three continents—and earn three Master’s degrees in one year. You’ll study at Institut Quimic De Sarria in Barcelona, Fu Jen Catholic University in Taipei, and USF in San Francisco.
