Business Study Abroad Programs

Education abroad experiences provide invaluable opportunities for students to learn in different educational environments and to gain firsthand exposure to other countries, cultures, societies and business practices.

The Office of International Business Studies (OIBS) assists Marquette Business students in finding education abroad programs and opportunities that fit their unique situations and goals. Where, when and for how long you study abroad will depend on your area of education, academic goals and preferences.

Marquette Business students can choose from fall or spring academic terms, full academic year programs, summer programs, and fall, winter and spring break programs. Break programs are offered through the college, while semester and academic year programs are offered through the Office of International Education.

Semester and Academic Year Programs

Students who select this education abroad option attend one of our many partner universities around the world for a fall or spring term or for an academic year.

Summer programs

Students choosing this short-term education abroad option attend summer programs at our partner universities. These programs vary in length, start date and the number of credits offered.
