The Copenhagen program combines academic coursework with cultural enrichment. Copenhagen Business School (CBS) offers a strong academic focus as well as the opportunity to immerse yourself in a multicultural environment where you can make international business contacts. The program addresses core degree requirements at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Class discussions and group projects are enriched by the involvement of multinational senior executives from Danish and International companies. They provide real world preparation, experience and insight on intercultural differences. All courses are taught in English and are attended by Danish and other international students as well as USAC participants.
CBS starts each semester with a mandatory language course in Danish for study abroad students, consisting of five days of intensive instruction (4 hours per day). The course can help make your stay in Denmark more exciting by providing a guide to Danish society, giving you a basic working knowledge of Danish, including a general introduction and a feel for the commonly used vocabulary, grammar and syntax. Cultural aspects also will be covered in this course.
The Copenhagen program is administered in the U.S. by the USAC Central Office and in Copenhagen by a Program Coordinator who is responsible for the overall operations of the program abroad: answering questions about student housing, assisting with class registration and overseeing the students’ well-being. Robin Jensen, a Denmark resident, is the Program Coordinator for the USAC Copenhagen program.
