I am enrolled in the Strategy Minor/Major offered by the Strategic Management Subject Area. Can I receive credit for classes that I take abroad?

Accreditations of individual classes taken at renowned research universities abroad are possible. It is advisable to contact both the program manager (SPL) and ourselves in advance to taking classes at foreign institutions, so we can advise as to which accreditation will likely be feasible. Accreditations are ultimately handled by the program manager (SPL).
