Exchange Programs

MBA Semester Exchange Programs

Go abroad to experience the sights, sounds and culture of a new country all while earning credits toward your MBA degree. As an MBA student at the Knauss School, you can swap a full semester of your program at USD for a semester overseas at one of our partner universities around the world. Alternatively, MBA students from these partner universities can spend a semester studying here at USD.

*Note* Exchange placements are not guaranteed at all partner institutions. Placement depends on factors such as course availability and your own academic plan requirements, including concentrations.
