Program Overview

Program Description:

Georgia State offers many summer and maymester programs led and taught by Georgia State professors. These programs tend to be focused on a particular topic or theme and range from 10 to 20 participants, though some are larger. Students participate in lectures, site visits, excursions, and tours as part of the program. These programs usually last between two and six weeks. Students find these programs a great way to really get to know their professors and other GSU students while earning GSU credits and grades. Students do not have to study on a program related to their major, but they certainly can. Financial aid and scholarships are available.

This program provides an opportunity to examine the business climate in the European Union with field experience in France and Belgium. Students will gain insight into financial and managerial issues in France within the greater EU context. The in-country experience will allow students to observe and examine firsthand how companies work within the EU structure. Students will complete case studies, conduct a pre-departure analysis of one of the companies visited during the field experience, or develop an industry perspective and write mini-papers during the field component. In addition, students will lead the interviews with senior-level executives of firms in greater Paris. Students will be hosted at Sorbonne University while in Paris. The group will depart for Paris on May 19 and return to Atlanta on June 2. Students will also travel to Brussels from Paris for a few days.

Setting Description:

Participants will stay in comfortable, tourist-class hotels. The hotel in Paris is located close to IAE, Sorbonne.
