鈥淭hrough the International Business program, I got to spend an entire semester in Seville, Spain, not only learning about the culture, but also getting hands-on experience working in a global firm. And on the weekends, I also got to travel and see so many different countries, and experience so many different ways of life that I would have never gotten to do if it wasn鈥檛 for this program and 黑料网911.鈥
