BGEN 492: International Collaboration Project - Belgium

3 Credits

Take your education global and boost your resume with the International Collaboration Project in Belgium program! MSUB students will be teamed up with students from AP University in Antwerp, Begium and other universities throughout Europe to solve a real-world challenge for a leading hospital in Antwerp, Belgium's second largest city. Students will collaborate across cultures in small groups to work through a challenge presented by the hospital. Through this integrative process, students will apply classroom knowledge in hands-on workshops, and present their team's final solutions.

Open to all majors, this immersive experience is your chance to gain international exposure, sharpen your skills, and stand out in any career path. It won't all be work though, we'll have engaging excursions to Europe's second largest port, free time to explore the city, and a day visit to either Brussles, the capital of Europe, or to Bruges, which is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in northern Europe.

Enrolled students will meet weekly throughout the spring semester prior to the program in Belgium.
