Where we go

Quinlan creates unique global immersions. While classes vary each year, our Comparative Consumer Behavior course in South East Asia has been offered every year for over a decade! 

While on study abroad courses, Quinlan students have:

  • Developed a continuity infrastructure plan for dispersing resources after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico
  • Gained an understanding of how companies help create sustainable farming practices at cocoa, coffee, and agave plantations
  • Analyzed and presented findings for a global branding case study for an international cosmetic company in Spain
  • Collaborated with human resource professionals in Spain to create global HR strategies, programs, and policies

They have also visited a tranquil Wat (temple) in bustling Bangkok, explored China’s Great Wall, wondered at the ancient temples in Greece, and relaxed at a beautiful vineyard in Chile.

How it Works

Lectures and preparation include class time before and after the excursion. While studying abroad, students often meet with local companies, NGOs, government officials, and sometimes local service agencies. Group tours of national landmarks and local world heritage sites are often included. Ample time is given for personal exploration.

Study abroad courses typically are completed in 10 to 12 days, allowing those that work full time to participate. The courses are mostly held during winter, spring, and summer quarters. Each course is 3 credits and can be used as an elective credit in any degree program.

Costs include (but not limited to):

  • Course tuition
  • Course fee (often includes hotel, ground transportation, site visits, some meals)
  • Airfare and personal expenses / spending money
