Courses abroad are comprised of a BUSI788 one-credit class that takes place in
the DC metro area and a two-credit BUSI798 course that takes place abroad. The BUSI788
course educates students prior to departure about the culture, history and economic
climate of their destination; students research the companies they will visit while
abroad, and make presentations or other deliverables that analyze current situations
in their chosen region and country. While abroad on the associated BUSI798 course,
the itinerary frequently incorporates two or more company visits per workday, as
well as various cultural activities that facilitate understanding. Most courses
have a detailed topic, but all courses examine the macro picture and give insight
into how to do business in the country or region.
The BUSI788 one-credit class serves as the prerequisite for the two-credit BUSI798
time abroad and is mandatory. Each BUSI788 is coupled with an associated BUSI798
course. Students should register themselves for the BUSI788 class in which they are interested;
register at the same time as the other classes taught in that term. Those in the
BUSI788 sections will be registered automatically for the associated BUSI798 class
abroad, and only those who complete the BUSI788 course can be registered for its
BUSI798 counterpart. For example, students wanting to travel to Dubai will register
for BUSI788M on Testudo, and then will be automatically registered for BUSI798M
abroad.
