Study Abroad Programs:

Employers view international experience through work or study-abroad as a valuable asset. The Pamplin College of Business offers various study-abroad programs that provide student opportunities to visit business units, government agencies and universities, attend lectures and discussions, and observe local culture, while having time for personal travel during weekends and scheduled breaks.

Study Abroad: Asia

This trip includes visits to China, Vietnam and Cambodia. China, including its Hong Kong territory, is one of the world's largest markets and soon will be the largest. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing of the world’s emerging markets. As a consequence it becomes absolutely essential for the students aspiring to handle business abroad to be able to understand these markets. Especially given the United States' history with Vietnam, this aspect of the trip allows a fascinating look at one of the markets of the future. Program Faculty: Dr. G. Rodney Thompson, Professor of Finance and Dr. James E. Littlefield, Professor of Marketing.

Fall Semester in Europe

The classes for this program are held at the University’s Villa in Switzerland. Traditionally, travel is to Paris, Prague, Budapest, Munich, Naples, Rome, Florence, and Venice. Thirty-two, Pamplin College Juniors who are current sophomores in the Pamplin College of Business or Virginia Tech students who fulfill the required prerequisites get to go on this trip. Program Faculty: Dr. G. Rodney Thompson, Professor of Finance, Dr. James E. Littlefield, Professor of Marketing, and Jerald F. Robinson, Professor of Management
