Undergraduate Global
Business Exchange Programs
Studying abroad for a semester is a great
way to expand your understanding of other
business and cultural environments, demonstrate
an ability to work effectively in foreign
environments. You also gain the opportunity
to practice a foreign language if that is
of interest; however, all of our partner
schools offer courses in English.
To apply: The first step is to meet with
your undergraduate advisor to discuss how
studying abroad will fit in with your academic
goals and requirements. The next step is
to schedule a meeting with the Center
for Global Business (contact:
Lisa Barnard) to discuss your partner
school of interest and your goals in studying
abroad. Please click on the "Undergraduate
Application Process" link to the right
for complete application requirements.
Course Approval: If you are interested
in taking a course that has not yet been
reviewed by the advising/academic team,
simply request a copy of the syllabus (either
directly from the host university or through
Lisa Barnard), and bring it to your advisor
to be articulated (reviewed). For more information,
see
Course
Approval.
Partner Schools
The benefits of studying at a partner
school are an excellent academic experience,
help with applying and other administrative
functions, and a financial structure that
allows you to be billed University of Maryland
tuition through Testudo, the same as if
you were still here for that semester. In
addition, the 30-credit rule does not apply,
since you are treated as if you are still
at the Smith School.

Other
Study Abroad Programs:
For those students
who would like to consider university
options other than these listed,
the Robert H. Smith School of Business
will accept transfer credits from
any AACSB or Equis accredited institution.
However, the process for applying
and transfer of credits or possible
fulfillment of degree requirements
must be negotiated on a case by
case basis with the Center for Global
Business and your undergraduate
academic advisor. All tuition and
financial obligations will be paid
to that university directly, and
you must complete your last 30 credits
at the University of Maryland.
