What began as a virtual collaboration in 2020 and turned into a successful international exchange will move to its next phase this month.
A “business education with impact”—in today’s world of business—means preparing our students to think globally. In fact, every business challenge today has global impact, and global solutions.
The Willumstad School gives you many study abroad opportunities to build expertise in this critical factor of business success.
Our study abroad opportunities focus on business, economics, culture and politics. Recent programs have gone to India, Finland, France and China.
Students can choose to study abroad for a semester or enroll in short (7-to-15 day) courses.
A unique collaboration between the Robert B. Willumstad School of Business and Hochschule Fresenius’s International Business School in Germany brings together students and faculty from Adelphi and Germany to study, teach and collaborate – culminating in an exceptional study abroad experience in Germany.

Students and faculty from Adelphi University in New York, visited Hochschule Fresenius Cologne as part of the TAVEC Project.
What began as a virtual collaboration in 2020 and turned into a successful international exchange will move to its next phase this month.
The students from Hochschule Fresenius were very welcoming and patient with us as we learned and asked many questions … The ideologies I was exposed to allowed me to think differently about everyday situations as well as issues we have in the United States.

International business leader Bharat Bhisé, MBA ’78, believes Adelphi students should have global exposure to other countries, cultures and economies—and he funded an all-expenses-paid study tour to India to prove it.
This fully-funded incubator for global learning provides Adelphi business students, and other Adelphi students interested in global cultures, with immersive study tours. The inaugural trip to India included a visit to an NGO (non-governmental organization) that promotes the leadership of young women.
I will always remember our visit to the Gender Lab…in an impoverished area in Mumbai. The Gender Lab there educates girls and boys on leadership, women’s rights and resources they can utilize in their area. It was an encounter I’ll cherish forever.
