Within easy reach of both mountains and the Mediterranean, and home to 100,000 university students, Montpellier is a young, vibrant city with a centuries-old history of intellectual advances and social tolerance. It is the ideal place to study how business is conducted within a culture and understand the nuances of working across multiple cultures.

Optional longer excursions are also organized by the Program Center staff during the semester and are offered at an extra cost if there is sufficient interest.
