Study Abroad
The College of Business is proud to offer study abroad programs to current students. We aim to personally customize your trip to best fit your academic and financial needs, location and cultural interests, and desired abroad experiences. We have two main study abroad opportunities specific to the College of Business:
- » Faculty Led TripEach school year, a qualified professor (or professors) teaches a course on business in a specific country. At the end of the course, the class visits the country to experience firsthand the content they learned all semester. If you want to study abroad but are unsure about long term commitment, this is the perfect opportunity for you. You can travel with a group and decide if studying abroad is of real interest to you! There is an additional cost to take these classes to help fund the trip. Past trips include visits to London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil. If you are interested in enrolling in this international study experience or have further questions, please contact Dr. Jaime Williams for more information.
- » FH Aachen
The International Business 4-Year Program enables students to overcome international borders, language barriers, and cultural differences within all business contexts. After their sophomore year at TN Tech, students complete their 3rd year in Aachen, Germany. FH Aachen takes a distinct international approach, allowing students to graduate with a prestigious dual degree, i.e. a degree from ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ and also from the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen. This opportunity optimally prepares degree holders to earn jobs in internationally operating companies.

Internships ›
Internships play a massive role in departments across the entire College of Business. Featured to the left is PJ Barnes, who recently interned with the Tennessee Small Business Development Center. Below is the testimonial he provided about his internship experience.
“I gained so many personal and business skills over the last year. I have been able to look at the ins and outs of businesses, which has helped me start my own business. I have also developed some more tangible skills like marketing, SEO, website design, photography, and videography. My communication skills have also vastly improved over the last year. Without this internship, I wouldn’t know what a professional, or even business casual workplace would be like. It changed the way I am preparing for after I graduate."
