The Kenan Flagler Business School, in conjunction with Maastricht University in Maastricht, Netherlands, offers an exciting opportunity for a semester study abroad experience. The Center's goals are to develop students' understanding of the European Community, to highlight multinational corporations and marketing strategies, and to study intercultural communications. UNC-CH juniors and seniors with a 3.0 or higher GPA are eligible for the program. Students majoring or minoring in business administration as well as students in international relations, political science, and economics are encouraged to apply. Upon completion of the semester, students will have earned up to 15 UNC credits.
Instructors are ready to guide but less than eager to dictate a course of study.
The spring semester begins in early January and ends in late April. The elective mingles U.S. students with Dutch students and European exchange students. Past elective courses have included Global marketing strategy, International investments, International government and business, and Nationalism and nation building in Europe since 1800, Frequent excursions to corporations and to various offices of the European Community supplement classroom lectures. Day trips take place throughout the semester. THE LIFE Students are housed in dormitories with a cross-section of their international peers.
