Walker College International Programs
The Walker College of Business encourages its students to participate in one or more of its travel abroad opportunities. These programs have proven to be invaluable experiences for many students, some of whom have found employment overseas.
Some of the trips are scheduled during Fall and Spring breaks. Many are affordable, with scholarships available. Student do not have to speak a second language. And they can earn credit towards their degree!
Included below are stories from Walker College students and alumni describing their adventures abroad and how their education and personal perspectives were impacted. These are just a few of the many travel abroad programs overseen by Walker College. You can find student blogs and related articles about past trips under Recent Programs. Photo essays are posted under Photos. If you want more information on future opportunities, please contact Meredith Church, International Programs Coordinator and Student Advisor for COB International Programs.
