The International Business program at the CEA Global Campus in Paris is designed for students of all language levels interested in studying business within an international context. The program gives students the opportunity not only to continue their business studies in English but also to study in a cultural hotspot at the center of European business and politics. You will acquire business skills applicable to both the French-speaking and English-speaking worlds. In addition, you will not only increase your knowledge of universal business concepts but also will gain valuable skills in a second language, which is key to succeeding in today's global economy. All students will enroll in a French language course appropriate to their language level. In addition, students will enroll in one culture course taught in English. Students will choose from a variety of subject areas such as Art History, Cultural Studies and Anthropology. Students will then choose 2 to 3 business courses such as International Business, Cross-Cultural Management and Economics of the European Union. Students have the flexibility to choose the courses that best fit their academic needs. As a complement to classroom studies, students will also have the unique opportunity to participate in visits to local companies and institutions as well as attend lectures from esteemed professionals in the business world. All language courses and electives meet for a total of 45 contact hours and are generally worth 3 credits in the US semester system. If students enroll in 5 classes, they can earn up to 15 credits in the US semester system. However, it is up to the discretion of your academic advisor how much credit will be awarded.
