Attend company visits, cultural tours, and meetings with prominent MSU alumni in the country you visit
Go on treks to both multi-national and local companies in the host country to compare and contrast the two divergent business models
Gain exposure to the customs, laws, and regulations of the foreign country you visit

Study abroad & summer internship

Since the study abroad program immediately follows spring semester, you will get an opportunity to participate in both a two-week study abroad program and your summer internship. Though study abroad can be done after either the first or second year, students who participate following their second year must extend their graduation date to August (prior approval from the director needed).
