Study Abroad

Studying abroad is one of the best paths to increasing global and intercultural awareness, developing self confidence in unfamiliar settings, and distinguishing yourself to potential employers.

There are many opportunities for Bloch School students to study abroad:


Short courses (plus pre or post trip excursions)

The Bloch School since 1989 has offered study abroad courses that are less than a full semester in duration. These courses require classroom instruction at the Bloch School both before and after the trip abroad. Courses are designed to fit into the time and budget constraints of our students.

In May 2010 we are offering three courses: London, Munich and Shanghai:

London--May 15-21

Munich--May 22-29

Shanghai, May 23-29

Each is three hours elective credit. It is possible to earn six hours credit by combining London and Munich or London and Shanghai.

There are also short pre-trip or post-trip excursions offered with each program. These include a pre-trip to Paris prior to London; a post-trip to Rothenberg and Innsbruck (with day trips) following Munich; and a post trip to Beijing and Xi'an after Shanghai. These are described in the materials on each course below. There is an additional $100 fee for each pre- or post trip plus hotel, transportation, food and entrance fees.
