Study Abroad ›
The College of Business is proud to offer study abroad programs to current students. We aim to personally customize your trip to best fit your academic and financial needs, location and cultural interests, and desired abroad experiences. We have two main study abroad opportunities specific to the College of Business:
- » Faculty Led TripEach school year, a qualified professor (or professors) teaches a course on business in a specific country. At the end of the course, the class visits the country to experience firsthand the content they learned all semester. If you want to study abroad but are unsure about long term commitment, this is the perfect opportunity for you. You can travel with a group and decide if studying abroad is of real interest to you! There is an additional cost to take these classes to help fund the trip. Past trips include visits to London, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Brazil. If you are interested in enrolling in this international study experience or have further questions, please contact Dr. Jaime Williams for more information.
- » FH Aachen
The International Business 4-Year Program enables students to overcome international borders, language barriers, and cultural differences within all business contexts. After their sophomore year at TN Tech, students complete their 3rd year in Aachen, Germany. FH Aachen takes a distinct international approach, allowing students to graduate with a prestigious dual degree, i.e. a degree from Tennessee Tech University and also from the University of Applied Sciences in Aachen. This opportunity optimally prepares degree holders to earn jobs in internationally operating companies.

Internships ›
Internships play a massive role in departments across the entire College of Business. Featured to the left is Emma Fontenot, who recently was a data architecture and governance intern with Eastman Chemical Company. Below is the testimonial provided about her internship experience.
“My internship experience was valuable because it taught me how to be specific with my questions in future interviews and career conversations. Before I began this internship, I didn’t necessarily understand the day-to-day work of a data analyst. Now that I have experienced some of that work for myself, I can be much more precise about my skills and interests when pursuing future career opportunities."
