Global Programs
Undergraduate: Semester Abroad
At Syracuse University's Whitman School, we believe that in order to become well-rounded business professionals, students need to be exposed to the global aspects of business and gain practical experience by studying, interning or taking a short course abroad. The Whitman School offers study abroad experiences in the following locations:
Whitman in London
London has a rich culture filled with social and ethnic diversity.
For Juniors: BUA474: Project-based Learning in Business in London
This experiential seminar-style course will immerse you in the exciting London business environment and help you get the most out of your time abroad. It will offer the opportunity to better understand business in London and throughout the U.K. by engaging with current business news and events, interacting with class visitors and participating in off-site visits. Students will complete a project in which they will apply knowledge and skills from both this course and their prior coursework to investigate and analyze a local London or U.K. business issue or event that relates to their central area of study.
For Sophomores: Whitman Courses at the London Center
The Syracuse Abroad London: Whitman Core program offers sophomore Whitman School of Management majors the opportunity to complete 9-credits of required core courses immersed in the exciting London business environment. You will enroll in MGT 247, MGT 248, and SOM 354 (Integrated Core 2). You'll round out your enrollment with electives selected from other London course offerings; however, you may not participate in an internship while in London. To be eligible for participation, students must have completed FIN 256, MAR 255, and SCM 265 (Integrated Core 1) prior to the program start. Enrollment is limited. (This is a spring-only program).
Florence
The Whitman School offers a well-rounded personal and professional Florence abroad experience that incorporates site visits, internships and other educational experiences.
Madrid Center, Spain
Based in festive and modern Madrid, the Syracuse program explores the entirety of Spanish culture. You’ll begin with one of several distinct Signature Seminars, which are aimed at providing the best introduction to Spain and Europe. During that time, you’ll also meet fellow classmates and Syracuse staff and faculty. The Syracuse Madrid cultural activities and service-learning programs will further immerse you in your new surroundings.
Other Syracuse Abroad Center Programs
Other Syracuse Abroad programs offer rich academic and cultural experiences across the globe. In Strasbourg, France, students can choose from a wide range of classes offered both at the Syracuse center and through local partner institutions. The Syracuse Santiago program in Chile is embedded within Pontificia Universidad Católica, one of the top universities in Latin America, and most students begin the experience with three weeks of intensive language study in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In Central Europe, students explore the region’s complex history and dynamic present through a combination of Syracuse-led courses and classes at respected local universities, all thoroughly vetted and approved by Syracuse University.
World Partner Programs
Syracuse Abroad’s World Partner programs allow Syracuse University students to study abroad for a semester at one of 50 locations around the globe. Students who choose World Partner programs are often independent and driven. They’re usually looking for a very specific abroad experience – film school in Prague, practicing Hebrew in Israel, studying biodiversity in Madagascar – that our center programs just don’t have.
