Study abroad in SOUTH KOREA
The South Korea study abroad program will inspire and advance students’ knowledge, understanding and real-world experience of international business. Students will have the opportunity to expand their professional network on a global scale.
Course Offerings in South Korea
Students will earn 3 credit hours. The program will satisfy the Business Ethics (BUS 455) common professional component for all B.B.A. majors, or will count as an elective in International Business. Students will develop their knowledge of business ethics by learning to apply ethical principles in a different culture and business environment. Assignments will include orientation sessions before, field trips during, and a reflection paper after.
Industrial Tours
Students will visit manufacturing facilities, corporate headquarters and government organizations. Tentatively scheduled destinations include LG Chem Plant, Hyundai Motors Studio, the Korea Independent Commission Against Corruption, Incheon Port, and the demilitarized zone (DMZ). Other possibilities include: Samsung Electronics, SK Telecom, Kia, and Vizio.
Mission Work Opportunity
This year we are offering a pre-trip extension to serve as a counselor for a new Korean Christian Camp on Sukmodo Island (July 30-Aug 3). The four-day camp will offer an English immersion experience in a Christian environment for Korean youth ages 10-17. Selection of the camp counselors is separate from the study abroad program. You will need to complete the “Pre-trip Mission Work” section of the application and must be interviewed by the Camp Director Greg Tidwell. He will be on the FHU campus to conduct interviews during lectureship week (Feb. 2-7). You may contact him directly at greg.tidwell@gospeladvocate.com for additional information.

The program is $3,250 per person (triple occupancy). A limited number of single rooms and one double room (queen bed) is available at an additional cost of $250 per person.
