Business Spring Break in Turkey

Program Information

Join Jacksonville University faculty this Spring Break and venture to beautiful Turkey for an authentic global business experience!  This program is designed specifically for JU Business and International Business majors and provides students an opportunity to earn 3 credits in International Business.

After completing the necessary coursework on campus during the Spring semester, spend a week exploring the business culture in Istanbul while enjoying the city's unique blend of historic and modern amenities.  Turkey's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia make this an excellent destination for international business studies.  Students will have the opportunity to see how the Asian and European markets meld together in Turkey's largest industrial center.

Istanbul is one of the world's few bi-continental cities, located in both Europe and Asia.  Unlike other Spring Break programs, you have the chance to visit both continents during your trip. 

The warm Mediterranean climate is just one more reason to consider Turkey for Spring Break.  Savor some Turkish cuisine at an outdoor cafe, take a cruise down the Bosporus or visit one of the city's beaches.  To truly immerse yourself in this rich culture take a stroll through the Grand Bazaar or take a dip in a local Turkish bath.  So many wonderful experiences await!
