About Custom Undergraduate Business Programs Program
WorldStrides' custom undergraduate business programs offer you the opportunity to study global commerce and economics in dynamic international destinations. These faculty-led programs are designed to complement your business education by connecting classroom theory with real-world applications across diverse industries and regions.
You'll engage with industry experts, visit leading companies, and explore how businesses operate in different economic contexts. Whether you're interested in manufacturing supply chains in China, automotive innovation in Germany, financial markets in Chile, or the food and beverage export industry in Scotland, these programs are customizable to match your specific academic interests and learning goals. The curriculum combines structured company visits, guest lectures from executives, and interactive strategy challenges that ask you to apply practical business skills to real international challenges.
Every program includes comprehensive support to ensure you focus on learning rather than logistics. You'll have access to in-country English-speaking guides, 24/7 emergency support, and embedded medical insurance. WorldStrides handles entry requirement assistance and provides financial protection, allowing you to travel with peace of mind. The team works closely with faculty to identify your program theme, prepare host organizations and speakers, and brief students before each engagement.
Program formats are highly flexible and can include company visits with Q&A sessions, panel discussions with industry experts offering candid market insights, local market immersion activities where you explore the microeconomics of a city as a consumer, social impact experiences with non-profits and social enterprises, and project-based learning where teams tackle real-world business challenges over several weeks. Some programs incorporate community engagement components, combining service learning with business education.
Previous programs have yielded exceptional outcomes: students studying sustainability in business in Ghana pursued internships in the cocoa industry and engaged with industry leaders, while supply chain management students in Hong Kong gained practical understanding of vertical warehouses and aircraft parts logistics that connected directly to their classroom studies. These programs are ideal if you want to develop a global perspective on business, build international professional networks, and gain competitive advantages for internships and careers in multinational companies or globally-focused organizations.
