CSU in England

One of the longest-running study abroad programs in the College of Business is "CSU in England" or "International Marketing and Business Research in London".

This study abroad experience provides students with hands-on research skills, the opportunity to travel and interaction with many sectors of the British business community. During spring semester, teams of students will be provided a client who is seeking research in England. Prior to departure, the student teams prepare research proposals based on client needs. Students then spend 8 days in England during the break between spring semester and the first summer session conducting research and interviews with British organizations, businesses, agencies and consumers. Students and faculty at BUCKS New University (outside of London) have traditionally hosted the Cleveland State students.
