Special programs and student activities
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.
