Anderson students have an abundance of study abroad opportunities. These exchange programs allow qualified
students to earn
Anderson credit and pay UNM tuition while studying in one of several foreign universities.
Exchange agreements exist at two levels: Anderson-specific and UNM. The Anderson School has signed department-specific exchange agreements with universities in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. In most of these cases, Anderson maintains strong contacts with the reciprocating business school. These exchange agreements are outlined in the following section. In addition, the University maintains exchange agreements with a much larger group of universities spanning the globe. Anderson students are generally able to participate in these exchanges as well.
The key to a successful study abroad experience is advanced planning. It is important that you have courses pre-approved for Anderson credit (i.e., your planned schedule should be submitted to your adviser before you enroll), so that a maximum number of credits will be applied toward your degree.
Building on the success of previous summers' trips Mexico, Anderson will again be offering a summer study abroad program for both undergraduate and graduate students. This summer the classes in the program will occur July 21 - August 1 in Guadalajara, Mexico and will be offered in cooperation with the prestigious Universidad de Guadalajara. Students will have the opportunity to earn 3 credits from UNM on site in Mexico. The bi-national classroom, consisting of students from UNM and the Universidad de Guadalajara and led by UNM professor Doug Thomas (thomas@mgt.unm.edu) with numerous guest speakers and site visits, will serve as a unique educational opportunity for students wishing to learn more about the Mexican economy and business environment. Guadalajara is an ideal location because it is a sister city with Albuquerque and a leading technology center in Mexico.
