This program offers students the unique opportunity to study and explore Asia, with a focus on South Korea. Over four weeks in Seoul, students will earn 6 credit hours while engaging in a range of immersive activities.

South Korea, home to global giants like Hyundai and Samsung, has transformed into a cultural powerhouse, spreading its influence worldwide through the Korean Wave ("Hallyu") with K-pop, K-dramas, and K-beauty. Astonishingly, just fifty years ago, its economy resembled that of developing nations, heavily dependent on foreign aid. This program offers Xavier students a unique opportunity to explore the business landscape of a rapidly evolving economy by visiting a variety of companies in one of the world’s most dynamic nations.
