Business today commands a global stage, reliant on complex chains of exchange that cross cultures and continents. Even companies that operate exclusively in the U.S. collaborate and negotiate with people all over the world. In this global economy, the personal growth and international perspectives gained in a study abroad experience add more than polish to your college portfolio. Employers see study abroad as a professional credential for the cross-cultural collaboration demanded of today’s business leaders.
Studying business abroad positions you for success, showing future employers you not only recognize but also embrace the opportunity of the international marketplace. And with dozens of countries to visit and options to consider—from short-term trips to full-year commitments—TCNJ has the study abroad experience to match your goals and interests.
