Explore how business is used across the globe
CSU’s College of Business offers the International Business Experience to prepare students and alumni to step confidently into global enterprises. The nature of business is constantly changing, and professionals are increasingly working with partners and stakeholders around the world. The International Business Experience is your opportunity to learn and network outside of the classroom.
Each year, we offer business graduate students and alumni two opportunities to travel internationally and regionally with faculty members to learn firsthand about how location and culture influence business. Each experience introduces you to business leaders from around the world and shows you how cultural sensitivity and putting your work in a global context can help you solve pressing challenges, improve your resume and create new opportunities for travel in the future.
