Study and Intern Abroad
Study abroad is one option for completing the Tippie RISE degree requirement. International experiences help you observe and understand how cultural norms impact business practices and expose you to new languages, foods, climate, cultural norms, and ways of looking at the world. Business is global and employers look for graduates who are independent, can problem solve, and are culturally competent. Study or interning abroad can help you develop skills employers are looking for while completing required coursework in another country.
Find Your Fit
There are a wide range of program options for Tippie students. You may consider spending two weeks abroad during winter break or participating in a semester-long program. It is important to tell your academic advisor that you want to study abroad as early as possible so they can work your time abroad into your graduation plan. Click below to start exploring!
