The problem with short term study tours at higher education institutions in the U.S. is that there is a tremendous amount of work involved for each faculty member. As a policy, all short-term international study trips must be accompanied by a faculty member, especially when visiting international corporations in the region. As such, professors often do not have enough time and resources to accomplish the task. The solution is to outsource this work to GEP, thus giving the faculty member an incentive to focus on their core competence – academic pursuits - and offer your students the unique opportunity to travel to emerging countries and learn and network with companies operating in the global business environment.
If you are an institution located within the United States interested in providing your students with the opportunity to engage in a Professional Study Tour™ in emerging countries from around the world, please contact us!
