Home to more than a hundred multinational business, the European base of the United Nations (U.N.), and non-governmental organizations (NGO's), Geneva provides an exceptional location in which to study both the character and practice of international business and its impact on the global issues of human rights, ecological protection, disarmament, and economic development.

High Commission for Refugees. The program likewise includes a visit to Berlin, where students have an opportunity to gauge the commercial, cultural, and political impact of the transition to a free-market economy. Additionally, students are invited to participate in voluntary excursions in and around Chamonix, France and the Mont Blanc massif.

Students are housed and take classes in the Cité Universitaire, located near the center of Geneva and minutes from the University of Geneva.
