McCombs School of Business encourages students to study abroad
The McCombs School of Business in Texas is gearing up for its seventh annual Study Abroad Fair, to be held today in McCombs Plaza, in an effort to encourage business students to go overseas.
About a third of the business school’s students study abroad, the highest percentage of any college, according to Claudia Prieto, the international program coordinator for the business school.
“We want our students to have some type of global perspective,” she said. “Over 33% of our business students have international experience at graduation time.”
The Study Abroad Fair will focus on 27 partner schools that cater to business students. Only students enrolled in the business school can participate in the programs.
Meanwhile, the University-wide Study Abroad Fair takes place today in Gregory Plaza, and will include programs available to all majors. The University-wide fair takes place twice a year.
Other colleges, including the College of Communication and the Cockrell School of Engineering, will also hold their own study abroad fairs later in the semester.
