\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Next summer (or winter, since we\u2019re talking about the southern hemisphere) a group of Austin Peay State University (APSU) students will get an intimate look at global business practices during the APSU College of Business\u2019 inaugural study abroad trip to Rosario, Argentina.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of our business students have never been out of the country, never been on a plane, so going to Argentina provides them with the opportunity to experience a culture outside of Clarksville,\u201d Dr. Brandon Di Paolo Harrison, Austin Peay State University assistant professor of accounting, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cRosario is one of the world\u2019s top producers in manufactured products, and it\u2019s the largest port city in Argentina, so we\u2019ll tour the port and see the influence that it has economically,\u201d stated Harrison.<\/p>\n

Students will spend a month in Argentina, from May 12th-June 13th, taking courses such as international accounting and global business. While earning credit hours toward their degree, students will also develop the skills they\u2019ll need for entering a global workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to visit companies such as PepsiCo Argentina to show opportunities to students, so that when they graduate our APSU CoB students could better understand how to function within an international business environment,\u201d Di Paolo Harrison said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll take them out and go to industries, practicing what they are learning in the classroom. I want students to have a practical application of the abstract concepts covered in our courses. This is vital in forming well-rounded professionals\u2026 and it\u2019s a break from the Euro-centrism, allowing them to see the importance of global economies as a whole. Furthermore, students don\u2019t have to know Spanish to be exposed to this opportunity in our college,\u201d stated Harrison.<\/p>\n

The University\u2019s strategic plan calls for providing \u201cAPSU students with the international perspective they\u2019ll need to thrive in the 21st century workforce,\u201d and the University\u2019s College of Business is making sure there is no obstacle in their way from gaining this perspective. <\/p>\n

[320left]\u201cWe\u2019ve identified several scholarship opportunities for students,\u201d Di Paolo Harrison said. \u201cDean (Mickey) Hepner is so supportive that he is offering additional scholarships through the college.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students will also learn more about the country\u2019s culture, with excursions to places such as Argentina\u2019s famed Patagonia region and neighboring countries.<\/p>\n
