"Learning outside the classroom gave me insight into the business world and how different businesses work cross-culturally. Rather than reading about different scenarios from a textbook, we were blessed to visit a few companies in Seoul, such as Samsung and Hyosung. We even met the CEO of PepsiCo in East Asia and spoke to him about management styles and how we can apply them in our future careers."

"Students experience a unique way of learning [during travel study trips] that tends to be more impactful than a traditional classroom lecture. Subjects, concepts, theories, and life lessons can be seen with a 'boots on the ground' experience."
We hope these testimonies inspire you to join one of our travel opportunities soon!
