“Business today is global. Companies in the US and elsewhere are seeking markets, financing, efficient production, talented managers, effective design and marketing ideas, and technological prowess. While studying abroad, students will benefit by developing a more global mind-set, and they will also find the strength and confidence to be effective in a different culture and national environment. Students will be preparing themselves for their future success.”

Through EAP, you can increase your understanding of the global economy by directly experiencing how other nations conduct business. At the same time, you can investigate how local differences in culture, politics, and financial systems impact international business and trade. These opportunities can be especially valuable if your UC campus does not have an undergraduate business program. Ultimately, the knowledge, skills, and cross-cultural perspectives you gain on EAP will help you succeed in an increasingly diverse and fast-paced world in which Isaac Asimov notes “the only constant is change.”
