International Business Internships
The Weissman Center for International Business arranges internships for Baruch undergraduate and graduate students with firms doing international business in the New York metropolitan area. The duration and structure of each internship is customized to meet the needs of both host and student. Hosts for recent internships include AIG, Citigroup, The Journal of Commerce, Merrill Lynch, Mitsui & Company, Philip Morris International, UBS Financial Services Inc., and the US Department of Commerce, as well as a number of smaller firms. The Center's international business internships enable students to combine experiential learning with concepts they have studied in the classroom, while gaining first-hand knowledge of the global marketplace. Although the primary focus is on local internships, some take place abroad.

Study Abroad
The Baruch Study Abroad Office, located in the Weissman Center for International Business, helps students from all three Baruch Schools who wish to spend a semester, a year, the January intersession or a summer studying at a university or similar educational institution in another country. Students wishing to learn about the many study abroad options available to them should visit the Study Abroad Office during its open office hours, or make an appointment for a study abroad advising interview.

Baruch currently has exchange programs for undergraduate students in Austria, the Dominican Republic, England, France, Germany, Korea, Mexico, and Sweden, and sponsors a Spanish Language and Civilization program in association with the Colegio de Españà in Salamanca, Spain. Baruch students have also recently participated in study abroad programs in Argentina, Australia, China, Ecuador, Egypt, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Morocco, Senegal and Ukraine, among others.

Mitsui & Co. (USA) Lunch-time Forums
The Weissman Center for International Business presents the Mitsui & Company (U.S.A.) Lunch-time Forum series during the spring and fall semesters. The Forums, which are free of charge, focus on current topics in the global economy. The primary audience is Baruch students and faculty, but alumni, corporate friends and industry experts also are invited to attend.
