Education
abroad
The College of Business Administration has an
exchange program with AUDENCIA Nantes - Ecole
de Management in France. Students from AUDENCIA
Nantes attend BGSU during the academic year,
joining students in business and other classes
and activities. Students from the College of
Business Administration and from any major at
BGSU and other universities participate in a
summer program in Nantes, France.
The
summer education abroad program is designed
to introduce students to Europe and the environment
of European business, while gaining first-hand
experience living in a foreign environment.
Students spend five weeks in courses in Nantes
and complete the program by spending several
days visiting institutions of the European Union,
located in Brussels, Belgium.
The
program includes courses in European business
and economic environments, the European Union,
and French and other European cultures. Students
earn at least six credit hours at the undergraduate
or graduate levels. All courses except optional
French language courses are taught in English
by international faculty. Class sessions are
three and ½ days per week, allowing time
each week for students to travel to other areas
in Europe.
