Studying Abroad with the ACE (America, China, Europe) Triple Degree Program
International Business students have the opportunity to earn two additional degrees from Renmin University of China and Luiss University in Italy through GW’s ACE Triple Degree Program. This triple degree is tailored to students who aspire to become future global business leaders and emphasizes the key drivers of management in global business environments.
GWSB students apply to the GW ACE (America, China, Europe) Program and are accepted into the cohort at the beginning of their first year of their undergraduate studies. Fifteen students from each institution will then form a cohort of 45 students for years two through four of their degree program. Following the first year at their respective home institution, the cohort will study together at Luiss University in Rome during the second year, Renmin University in Beijing during the third year, and GW during the fourth year.
