Student Exchange

Spending a semester abroad as part of the undergraduate student exchange program at the School of Business is the best way to experience how different cultures, histories, and experiences shape business in other countries.

Choose from a wide selection of programs in over a hundred countries and immerse yourself in a new culture that will make a lasting difference in your personal and professional life. 

As a Stevens student on an exchange program, you will: 

• Challenge your assumptions about learning and business in other countries.

• Increase your openness to new opportunities.

• Make friends for life as you live and study in a new country. 

• Reflect on how your own culture has shaped your understanding of the world. 

Keep in mind:

• You'll have to plan a course of study with your academic advisor, ideally a year before you plan to travel. Each partner university has courses equivalent to a Stevens required course, as well as classes that can fulfill elective or international business requirements. It is very important that you not take the Stevens courses if you plan to take the equivalent courses while abroad!

• Semesters in some countries run on a different calendar than at Stevens. For these programs, it may be possible to return to the United States before the end of the semester abroad, to take your final exams here. Consult the Office of International Programs and your academic advisor before making travel plans. 

• You are advised to join an exchange program in your junior year. Students are ineligible to participate as freshmen or seniors, though they can take part in short study abroad programs.

• To join an exchange program, you must be in good academic standing, have a GPA of at least 2.75, have completed at least one year of study at Stevens, and have no outstanding conduct issues.

To sign up for an exchange program, or to learn more about what's involved in spending a semester living in another country, contact the Office of International Programs.

Global Business Seminar - Spring Semester 2024 Study Abroad Experience

For a shorter study abroad experience, the School of Business has a Global Business Seminar option. The Global Business Seminar, BT450, is a 3-credit course that will be led by Dr. Gaurav Sabnis. This course consists of a series of seminars and concludes with a six-night stay in Germany and the Czech Republic which will occur during Spring Break.  Students will be immersed in the business and culture of these countries that balance ancient pasts with modern, dynamic business climates.  

Past programs have gone to Chile, Argentina, Italy, Portugal, and Greece. These programs are open to all Stevens students. To learn more, contact the Center for Student Success.

Study Abroad Scholarship

The School of Business Study Abroad Scholarship is designed for undergraduate students majoring in the School of Business to pursue an in person international experience.  The scholarship awards are need-based and range from $500 - $1000. Scholarship funds may be used to pay for any of the study abroad programs that are offered by the Office of International Programs, including the Global Business Seminar, BT450, a study abroad semester or summer experience. Students who are receiving university funding through the Pinnacle or Clark programs are not eligible. 
 

• Use of Funds: Awards are intended to assist with any costs associated with in-person international study abroad program or internship. Awards will be dispersed only after the student has demonstrated a financial commitment to the International Program (e.g., paying a non-refundable deposit). A student who does not fully participate in the program for which the award was provided will be required to reimburse the Fund. 

• Range of Awards: Scholarship awards for eligible students are subject to availability of funds. Students with “high financial need,” as determined by the Office of Financial Aid, may be awarded an additional amount subject to availability of funds.
