Over Winter Break the Farmer School of Business will offer a two-week Asian study program. The schedule combines class meetings, company visits, guest lectures, and cultural tours. Seniors who have not studied abroad: here is a final opportunity!

Vietnam boasts the second-fastest-growing economy in Asia. Once ravaged by war and poverty, the country is now progressing and thriving at an amazing rate. As part of this study group, you will travel from the casual charm of Hanoi to the teeming metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City. Next on the agenda is Cambodia. You will visit the world famous Ankor Wat temple in Siem Reap. This stunning structure features some of the most beautiful examples of Khmer and Hindu art. The temple and the whole city of Angkor are now declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The program will stop in beautiful Hong Kong for two and half days.
