Boston University Study Abroad Programs with Business Courses
Questrom students may go abroad on any Boston University Study Abroad program; however, students looking for business courses abroad have specific options listed below.
Business Internship and Exchange Programs
Business internship and exchange programs allow students to take business courses at a local university through direct enrollment. This means, for example, if they go to Sydney, they will enroll in the University of Sydney, take classes alongside Australians, and enjoy the many business courses available at a major university.
Copenhagen (Denmark) Business Exchange- Dublin (Ireland) Business Internship (spring only)
- Madrid (Spain) Business Internship (spring only)
- Milan (Italy) Bocconi University Exchange
- Padua (Italy) Business Internship (spring only)
- Paris (France) Business Internship (fall,spring)
- Singapore Management University Exchange (fall, spring)
- Seoul National University Exchange (fall, spring)
- Sydney (Australia) Business Internship (spring)
Boston University internship programs
are hosted at an overseas BU Academic Center with BU faculty to teach coursework. These satellite campuses, being small versions of the Charles River Campus, offer only a few business courses.
Students will find multiple program options at each site; please speak with a UDC advisor or a study abroad program manager to understand the differences.
Look for programs on the BU Study Abroad site noted as “Location-Internship: Industry” (e.g., “Sydney Internship: Business” or “Dublin Internship: Hospitality Management.” These differ from the “Business Internship” programs which are in the section above)
Locations include: Dublin, London, Los Angeles, Shanghai*, Sydney, and Washington, DC. *Shanghai offers a slightly different model
Important Notes about Business Courses Abroad
When taking business courses abroad, remember:
- Up to two courses may be taken abroad toward any one Questrom concentration.
- Only one “A List” course may be taken abroad and applied toward any one concentration.
- Accounting concentrators are encouraged to take their concentration electives within the U.S. (Charles River Campus or Washington, D.C.) because accounting standards vary internationally. See a UDC advisor for more information.
