MCCB business students travel overseas for London experience

Nearly 30 students from the Mike Cottrell College of Business (MCCB) at the University of North Georgia (UNG) will travel to London for eight days during spring break to study culture, international commerce and business. This study abroad program from March 9-18 is open to all students pursuing a business degree.

Among the sites the students will visit include St. Paul's Cathedral, Coca-Cola of Great Britain, Lloyd's of London, the Tower of London, Jaguar automotive works, and Portsmouth docks and harbor. Students will also have free time to explore London on their own.

"The London Experience introduces students to one of the world’s great cities," said Katie Simmons, associate dean of students and undergraduate programs at the MCCB. "It is a perfect first international experience and allows students a chance to observe a culture that is different yet familiar enough not to be overwhelming. They get to see what they are learning in classes applied in a global business setting."
