Where to Study Abroad?
Texas A&M University provides many study abroad programs for all of their students, but the Department of Economics provides for specific trips that are specifically catered to Economics majors, or rather anyone interested in Economics.
The three locations we have a relationship with are as follows:
- Erasmus University (Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
- Capital University of Economics and Business (Beijing, China)
- Southwestern University of Finance and Economics (Chengdu, China)
All of these programs are quite affordable, with prices more or less equivalent to spending a semester at College Station. On any of our trips, courses will be taught in English. If you are interested, feel free to look through our pages about why visiting any of these places is so benefical.
