Burgundy School of Business (BSB) is an excellent option for all Business majors and minors. When applying to study at BSB, students will need to select their study track or year. Students can only take classes listed under that track for the semester they are studying, so they will need to decide which track and semester best fit with the classes they need to graduate.

Program highlights: Are you a Wine Business concentration? BSB is one of the very few schools that offers Wine Business classes! You can find these classes in Bachelor Year 3, Spring in Dijon. Exchange students will have the option to participate in week-long electives that touch on important and relevant topics, taught by experts from around the globe. Students will also be able to take a class to learn French!
Tips to keep in mind:
It is recommended that students have completed all lower-division Business classes prior to studying abroad at BSB. However, if a student still needs lower-division, they can consider the Pre-Masters Track. Bachelor's degrees in France are generally 3-year degrees, with year 1 counting as lower-division and years 2 and 3 counting as upper-division. Undergraduate, senior-standing students can also take the first-year Master's level classes.
