It’s easy to study abroad in Managerial or Environmental & Natural Resource Economics. Our upper-level electives have a good deal of flexibility, so with the help of an advisor, you can identify courses that will fulfill major, minor, university, or general education requirements. Whether you want to study Global Economics, International Business perspectives, complete general education requirements, or select from the breadth of electives in various fields, the world is your classroom.

Making it Happen

You’ll want to meet with your Academic Advisor to discuss where you’ll have space in your schedule and what courses to plan for both while away and upon return. You should also meet with the advisors who manage the International or Domestic programs you are considering. Before you leave, advisors will sign off on how external coursework will translate back to your degree. Once grades are processed from your time away, courses will be coded into your record as agreed upon prior to departure. If you’re interested in study abroad, set up a meeting today!
