Academic International Exchange Program

Information for Johnson School Students Planning to Study Abroad
In the one-semester exchanges, second-year MBA students, chosen through a formal selection process, exchange places with students selected by established partner institutions. For the semester of work abroad, Johnson School students receive one semester of residency, retaining registration at and paying tuition to the Johnson School. Financial aid awards apply as normal. Credit hours earned abroad count toward MBA requirements, but grades are not averaged into exchange students' grade-point averages.
Credit requirements for the Johnson School MBA consist of 60 credits: 20 credits from core courses, 25 credits from Johnson School electives and up to 15 credits from electives taken outside the Johnson School. Students going on exchange will earn either 12 or 15 credits, depending on the exchange partner institution. These credits will be deducted from the 15 credits that can be taken outside the Johnson School.
An information session will be held during the second half of the fall semester for first year students planning to participate in the academic international exchange program. The application process will take place during the first half of the spring semester, with final selection of participants and match with partner schools by spring break.
