Here from our Global Ambassadors
“My Management and Marketing major has been transformed by BUA 300, Made in Italy: Business, Craftsmanship, and Branding Success. It is without a doubt that this study abroad course enhanced my problem-solving skills as well as deepened my appreciation of different cultures and perspectives, which I believe will be invaluable in my professional career.”
