Graduate Study Abroad and Exchange Programs
Today’s business leaders must have a vision that encompasses the global economy and a clear sense of their place in it. Through participating in international programs, students in the Terry College of Business learn more about the opportunities and challenges of managing in multinational corporations, joint ventures, and start-up operations overseas.
The goal of international programs at the Terry College of Business is to foster a global perspective in every academic discipline in the college. Toward this end, Terry offers study abroad and exchange opportunities, employing the expertise of faculty, staff and travel professionals both here and abroad, to give students the preparation to succeed in international business. Students are exposed not only to academic class work, but also to business visits to a variety of on-going enterprises and to unique cultural experiences.
Additionally, each fall the UGA Office of International Education hosts a Work, Study and Travel Abroad Fair where students can gather information and speak with representatives from various organizations and institutions of higher education that offer programs abroad.
Graduate Study Abroad Programs
Each international business program allows students to earn credits toward their degree, in the unique “classrooms” of foreign- and local-owned businesses and significant cultural sites abroad. Participants also strengthen their foreign language skills, cultural awareness, and ability to adjust to different environments. Often, these programs result in lifelong friendships as well as contacts for potential internship and employment opportunities.
All participants in these international programs are thoroughly oriented to their specific destination before departure, and most programs are led by a Terry faculty member and/or program manager.
Please contact Rich Daniels, MBA Program Director, for information about future program offerings.

Other Opportunities for International Education — Graduate
If you do not see the particular destination you desire in the roster of study abroad programs led by Terry College faculty or exchange programs with our peer institutions abroad, there are plenty of other options to consider. The University of Georgia offers over 90 study abroad and exchange programs to its students. UGA is also a member of various consortia and is affiliated with organizations that offer additional programs. The UGA Office of International Education (OIE) employs study abroad counselors to assist students with finding a program that will fit his/her needs.
The Graduate Academic Advisor can help students identify whether their desired courses will satisfy degree requirements. When selecting courses taught by non-Terry or non-UGA faculty, a student must complete and submit a Credit Approval Form.
