Study Abroad
Since one of the School of Business and Economics’ learning goals is to develop a student’s global perspective, starting in the Fall 2009 all entering International Business majors will be required to go on a study abroad program for a minimum of 4 weeks.
The College of Charleston offers many options for students wishing to study abroad. Study abroad programs must be approved by the Center for International Education with courses being approved by the respective departments. There are four types of programs offered by the College of Charleston. The most desirable offerings are semester long programs in Santiago, Chile; La Rochelle, France; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Havana, Cuba; and Trujillo, Spain. It also offers summer programs taught by CofC faculty that are at a minimum four weeks in length in Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Peru, Spain and Turkey. The College also has bi-lateral program agreements with universities in Argentina, Austria, Australia, The Bahamas, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, and the UK. Lastly, students have the options to enroll in a program offered by a study abroad program provider or by another university. All courses taken by students must be approved prior to departure by their respective schools/departments.
Program fees for CofC sponsored international experience courses range in prices. A tuition exchange and normal living expenses reflect the normal cost of education at the College of Charleston.
