Internationalize Yourself: Set yourself away from the pack!
Robinson College of Business and the Institute of International Business is pleased to provide scholarships for study abroad activities. We encourage students to incorporate an international learning experience into their academic program. As the global market continues to grow, there is increasing demand for individuals with a global mindset. Prepare yourself to be a leader who possesses sensitivities to other cultures and understands differences in business practices.
The IIB provides a portfolio of study abroad course options to students to step outside the classroom boundaries and obtain real world insight into the global marketplace. Qualified students are invited to apply for the Nita Robinson Scholars Program.
