Stephen F. Austin State University (SFA): Denmark & Sweden - Scandinavian Culture and Business

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I look at other cultures and countries now with a much more open mind for their way of life, business practices, and government structures. As a student this defiantly contributed to my educational experience and gave me more pride in school and myself

A Look Back

* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? This trip is a great experience for anyone interested in business and culture of other nations. The program gives a well-rounded view of the practices and customs of these countries. College students in their upper division courses would benefit the most from this trip. It gives a good application of knowledge already learned.
