Belgium - International Entrepreneurship - ENT 3190

Program Dates
Friday, March 6, 2026 to Sunday, March 15, 2026
Description

The focus of this course is on international entrepreneurship and the development of business plans. Approximately 15 ASU students will work with a similar number of students from the Universite Catholique de Louvain (UCL) in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. ASU students will visit Belgium in March. Belgian students will visit Boone for one week in early April. During the semester, groups composed of American and Belgian students will work together on business projects (they need at least 6-8 weeks between visits for the project work). A significant portion of the course lectures and activities will take place during the two weeks that UCL and ASU students will be together. This course has been offered many times, with ASU and UCL students from 2009-2011 and UNC Greensboro and UCL from since the mid 2010s.
