Netherlands

Program Details

The Netherlands has an over-500 year history of international trade and business. As a small nation with little to no natural resources, the Dutch pursued international trade and business early on. The Netherlands is unique in the world in that its economy has been shaped by its geography over several centuries. Amsterdam has been the hub of this international trade and business for nearly the entire time the Netherlands has been in existence as a nation. As such, there is ample access to the country's rich history in and around Amsterdam. Students will be able to stay the whole trip in Amsterdam, maximizing their exposure to the city, its history, and its businesses.
