After each spring semester, the junior cohort travels abroad to learn more about the business practices, culture, and policies of a foreign country. The trip is the culmination of BSAD 4000, taken during the spring semester. Each Scholar receives a significant stipend to offset the cost of the trip.
Due to COVID-19, the May 2020 study abroad trip planned for Xalapa, Mexico was cancelled.
