Global Opportunities and Study Abroad

25 percent of Crosby MBA students either study or intern abroad


Throughout the Crosby MBA curriculum you’ll find an emphasis on global issues and an understanding of the global economy. You may also choose to immerse yourself in another country’s business and social culture through one of our study abroad programs. Not only will you broaden your international perspective, you’ll also expand your business contacts and employment opportunities.
