The Center for Executive and Professional Development provides a number of short-term programs for Spears School of Business students and those from other institutions. Courses within these programs are designed specifically for the setting within which the study abroad activity is to take place. For example, a program to London provides courses that address the European Union while a program to Mexico addresses Latin America trade. Further, some programs include in-country stays of 3-4 weeks while other programs include on-campus class work followed by 8-10 days of foreign travel. All courses are taught by Spears School faculty and directly apply to the Spears School degree programs.
