This paper provides an overview of the major considerations areas related to the administration of outbound international business study programs offered by universities. BACKGROUND Competition among business schools and requirements noted in AACSB accreditation standards has necessitated increasing emphasis in "internationalizing" the business curriculum and student experiences across North America and throughout the world [6]. Exposing students to international business can be approached in various ways such as bringing international speakers into the classroom, case study analysis, and study abroad. An out of country study experience may be viewed as the best approach for business students to learn about international commerce [1]. Dwyer and Peters [4] documented the value of long-term impact of study abroad. Their findings show study abroad positively influences the career path, world-view, and self-confidence of students [4]. Chieffo and Griffiths [3] documented educational impacts of international short term programs on students' educational endeavors and personal lives.
