College of Business Study Abroad Trip to Lithuania - The College of Business will typically select four students to accompany faculty members on a two week study of international business strategy and cultural tour of Lithuania. Students selected for the trip will participate in a business strategy course taught by the COB faculty along with Lithuanian students at Vilnius University in the country's capitol. The students on the trip will also have the opportunity to visit business organizations in the country and engage in a variety of cultural experiences. The trip will also include the opportunity for 3 hours of MSU credits.

The students selected typically receive COB scholarship grants around $1000 to partially cover the costs of the trip. Additional costs of approximately $800 to $1000 plus course credit tuition will be the responsibility of participating students. The selected students will also have the option to extend their stay in Europe at their own expense. To be considered students should be admitted or be fully eligible for admission to the College of Business. Students interested in this unique and exciting trip to a relatively "undiscovered" part of Eastern Europe should contact Dave Foster (Reid 344, 994-6188 or dfoster@montana.edu) for application procedures.

Internship Opportunities - There are many internship opportunities. Please consult Linda Ward in The Bracken Center for the most current information.
