Experiential Learning

Our experiential learning Study Tours are designed to immerse students in the real world so that they can better understand entrepreneurial principles. These experiences can range from a half-day to a day to several days to several weeks. Previous study tours include trips to Japan, Finland, Silicon Valley, New York, Washington, Atlanta, Greenville, and Denver. These trips usually consist of a combination of site visits, guest speakers, networking receptions, and cultural immersion experiences.
