European Business Study Tour

Each year, the College of Business and Technology participates in a tour of enterprises, organizations, and cultural sites in Europe. In partnership with Southeast Missouri State University and several other schools, the Study Tour has visited England, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.  

The list of businesses we have visited includes IBM, Caterpillar, Hewlett Packard, British Petroleum, Proctor and Gamble, Peugeot, Cadburry, Heineken, and MTV Europe. In addition, we have toured British Parliament, the Bank of England, the U.S. Embassy in Paris, the World Trade Center in Paris, and a number of wineries and major department stores.

Some of the cultural sites we have seen are the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Palace of Versailles, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, and a multitude of castles and cathedrals.
