Overseas travel is an important part of the Global Business Program experience. Travel is required and can be satisfied by participating in a global travel seminar offered through the Business School or by participating in a study abroad experience. Students are encouraged to complete this requirement in their junior year.

Global Travel Seminar Option

The Global Travel Seminar is a one-week seminar that counts as a 3 credits. Students travel as a group and are led by a faculty member from the Business School. Scholarships are available to those in need. Click here for more information.

Study Abroad Option

Students can choose to study at Suffolk’s campuses in Madrid, Spain or Dakar, Senegal, or at one of the institutions listed below, with whom we have articulation agreements. This requires prior planning; students normally begin planning as a sophomores and travel in their junior year. The articulation agreements facilitates tuition and course credit transfer procedures. Students are free to choose other institutions not in the list for which an established procedure exists. Visit the Center for International Education for more information.
