Study Abroad — International Business

Put the International in International Business

With two campuses abroad and a plethora of institution partnerships all over the world, Champlain College is ideally suited for global study. 

Each undergraduate program curriculum at Champlain is designed to support a semester abroad. In International Business, we expect you to hit the road—or the airways—at least once!

A World of Opportunity

Our Champlain campuses are the easiest way to continue your studies internationally. 

  • Immerse yourself in a cosmopolitan city with a thriving tech scene. Our campus in Montreal, Canada, is an easy drive north from our Burlington campus, but feels a world away.
  • Dublin, Ireland, is proving to be an ideal home for many multinational companies, growing its stature as a global hub. Our Dublin campus is perfectly situated in this historic and vibrant capital.

Champlain's exchange partnerships are a popular option, with schools in Scotland, New Zealand, France, and the Netherlands. 

Looking to go somewhere else in the world? A number of pre-approved third-party programs can take you to a wide variety of countries. 

Wherever your travel and career ambitions point you, Champlain can help you get there. You'll work with your faculty advisor to plan your semester(s) abroad and ensure your coursework fulfills International Business program requirements.
