Semester or Year-Long Study Abroad Programs

Living abroad is an unforgettable experience that changes the way you view the world, the art of business, and yourself.

Through Kogod and AU Abroad, there are over 100 study and intern abroad programs to choose from, including more than 30 accredited and approved business programs in over 20 countries.

In general, students must have second-semester sophomore standing and a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher to participate in a semester, summer, or year study or intern abroad program. However, different programs have different language, GPA, academic level, and course prerequisites, so all students considering going abroad should pay close attention to individual program requirements and begin their research and consultation with their Kogod Academic Advisor and study abroad advisors well ahead of time.

Kogod students must also get approval from an academic advisor and complete the following with passing grades prior to studying abroad:

  • WRTG-100 and WRTG-101 (or WRTG-106) 

  • STAT-204 

  • ECON-150 (or both ECON-100 and ECON-200) 

  • ACCT-240  

  • KSB-101 

  • MATH-211 (BS Finance Majors only) ​​​​​​​

KSB Semester Programs

Kogod offers the following semester long programs:

Los Angeles Internship Program in Business and Entertainment

The Los Angeles program is designed for students in Kogod's Business and Entertainment Program, and is available in both fall and spring semesters.  Students will take three courses and complete an internship in the entertainment industry for a minimum of 20 hours per week.   

WHU in Koblenz, Germany 

The WHU program is a wonderful option for students who want to attend one of Europe's highest rated business schools.  WHU is located in the town of Vallendar, Germany, just a few miles from the city of Koblenz.  Students have the opportunity to become involved in student life at WHU by attending on-campus events, participating in weekend excursions for visiting students, and living in university housing a short walking distance from the main campus.  

ZHAW in Winterthur, Switzerland

The Program at ZHAW (The Zurich University of Applied Sciences) in Switzerland is a great option for all KSB students, but particularly for those with an interest in Banking and Finance.  Winterthur is located approximately 15 minutes from the Zurich airport and 25 minutes from downtown Zurich.  

EDHEC in Lille, France 

Beginning in fall 2023, students will be able to take courses in English or French at EDHEC in Lille, France.  Located close to the Belgian border, EDHEC is a strong French business school with a dynamic campus complete with on-campus housing and athletic facilities.  

KSB Summer Program

Kogod offers a 4 credit summer program in Germany through our partner, WHU.  The program focuses on "The Changing Environment of International Business in Europe."  ​​​​​​​

Short Study Tours

Kogod's short-term faculty led courses combine on-campus sessions with travel to dynamic locations across the globe during spring break.

Through on-site visits to multinational and domestic firms, students with an interest in the global economy learn how the political, economic, and cultural environments of the region or country influence business strategy and management practices.

Financial Aid for Study Abroad
