Program Details
BUS 49001 is an annual course that changes topics and locations. This is a fully-funded chance to study abroad with DSB Faculty. Future courses may include Italy and other locations. If you're an underclassman- hopefully more chances will come up in future years.
This year’s project will be oriented toward marketing Purdue University Fort Wayne to high school and university students in Morocco, situated at the very northern tip of Africa, across the Strait of Gibraltar from Europe. The trip may include a visit to Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Barcelona, Spain.*
BUS 49001 students will develop a recruiting presentation to use when speaking to Moroccan students, and publicly present the results of their efforts to the PFW and Fort Wayne community. Students will also visit historic sites and cultural attractions, and, of course, gorge on world-famous Moroccan cuisine
