The Global Field Study course to Seoul, Korea was truly one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had.
From exploring Korea's rich history and vibrant culture to experiencing the energy of modern Seoul, every day brought something new and exciting. The trip was thoughtfully organized, which made it easy to enjoy every moment and focus on learning, exploring, and building new friendships. The only downside was that seven days just wasn't enough, I left wishing I had more time to discover even more of Seoul and everything Korea has to offer. I came home with unforgettable memories, a deeper appreciation for Korean culture, and gratitude for an experience that I'll always cherish. I highly recommend a GFS trip to anyone looking for a meaningful, enriching, and unforgettable adventure.

Global Field Studies was one of the most rewarding experiences of both my undergraduate and graduate education. Through the program, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in both Thailand and Peru, experiences that expanded my understanding of global business far beyond what I could have learned in a classroom. Seeing how businesses operate in different countries and immersing myself in new cultures gave me a broader perspective on the world and reinforced the value of international collaboration.
As someone who has always had a passion for travel, Global Field Studies made experiences possible that I may not have had otherwise. If it weren’t for this program, I probably still wouldn’t have made it to Thailand. I’m incredibly grateful to the University of Baltimore for investing in opportunities like these. The knowledge, perspective, and confidence I gained through GFS have added tremendous value to both my personal growth and my professional journey, and I know they’ll continue to shape my success for years to come.
