24.  University of Connecticut: EuroTech-An International Program in Engineering

The demand for professionals with cross-cultural and foreign language abilities as well as overseas work experience is urgent and concrete. EuroTech was formed to answer this need by providing practical study in German, linked with academic training in engineering and industrial experience.

25.   University of Maryland: International Negotiation Seminars

This cross-disciplinary course combines lectures with small-group seminars and emphasizes collaborative decision-making, cross-cultural experience, and introduction to technology via synchronous and asynchronous electronic communication with students in other universities in Europe and the United States.

26.   University of Michigan: The Michigan Business Assistance Corps

The Michigan Business Assistance Corps was created to assist emerging democracies in Eastern Europe to move toward privatization and to provide masters of business administration students with an international experience. The corps arranged summer internships for the students, who served as consultants to private and public enterprises in Poland and Russia.

27.   San Diego State University: The MEXUS Program

MEXUS is a binational undergraduate international business curriculum which integrates business, foreign languages, and regional and cultural studies. Through a consortial arrangement with universities on both sides of the border, it allows Mexican and U.S. students to satisfy degree requirements for the B.A. in international business as well as the licenciatura en negocios internacionales simultaneously. Students from both countries live and study in Mexico and in the United States a minimum of two years each and complete an internship at the end of the second year in the host country.

28.   Wright State University: Project Chile

Based on intensive preparation leading to an international internship, Project Chile was intended to give students technical import/export skills, fluency in Spanish, an acquaintance with Chilean culture, and professional work experience.
