Earn credits from McGill University while experiencing life and learning about business in Latin America.
The four-week schedule in May 2024 will allow you to earn credit in two courses in a varied international environment and to share your culture with Brazilian students while experiencing their culture in return. The program provides ample time to get the most out of your time abroad.
About the Program
The courses offered relate international business concepts directly to the Brazilian context and to the more general Latin American business environment. The formal program will include regular lectures, guest speakers, and visits to businesses in Montréal, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.
Beyond the formal program, you will learn informally by spending four weeks working and living with Brazilian students and professors. By the end of the program, you will have made many new friends and you will have lived and worked in an exciting foreign environment.
