It's the educational experience of a lifetime. The Gies College of Business is home to 17 semester-long exchange programs with top business schools around the world. If you're unable to study abroad for a whole semester, that's okay—the Study Abroad Office also offers 12–15 short programs. Studying abroad through the Gies College of Business, with its drastically reduced tuition, can be cheaper than a semester at the University of Illinois.
