Studying Abroad with GW
High Impact Study Abroad Opportunities
ACE Triple Degree Program
Students interested in pursing a Bachelor of Science in International Business have an opportunity to earn two additional degrees from Renmin University of China and Luiss University through the 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.
Students will apply to the program and be accepted into the cohort during the first year of their undergraduate degree. Fifteen students from each institution will then form a cohort of 45 students for years 2 - 4 of their degree. Following the first year at their respective home institution, the cohort will study together first at Luiss University in Rome during the second year, Renmin University in Beijing during the third year, and finally at GW in year four.
