A Global Field Intensive (GFI) is a short-term, credit-bearing study abroad course that takes you straight to the heart of real-time global trends in business, politics, and society. Led by expert faculty, the experience is a high-impact blend of academic rigor and exclusive access: you'll meet with leaders at multinational corporations, government offices, and key global institutions, gaining unparalleled, firsthand insight from practitioners in your field through lectures and interviews. This professional immersion is perfectly paired with an unforgettable, direct exploration of the host country’s culture and major tourist sites.
