Exchange Programs

Qualified BBA students have the chance to participate in an exchange program for one or two semesters at one of our partner universities overseas and have the credits earned transferred back to SolBridge. Students must fulfill the criteria set by both SolBridge and the host university in order to make their outbound experience as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Generally, students who go on exchange pay tuition to SolBridge. They are not required to pay tuition or enrollment fees to the host university, but they do pay other expenses such as residence, activity fees, medical insurance, flights, etc. to the host university. In some instances however, the agreement between SolBridge and the host university may require students to pay tuition (and other costs) to the host university in which case they are treated as Study Abroad students. Students are advised to consult with the Study Abroad Office about the payment terms before selecting a host university.


Requirements

In order to apply for the outbound exchange program, students must meet the following SolBridge criteria:

Minimum Credits Earned or Semesters Completed
MBA 12 credits or completed 1 regular semester
BBA 36 credits or completed 2 regular semesters

Students should also ensure that they meet the host university’s application requirements (please visit the host university website for details). Students must also meet all the important deadlines set by the host university.
