France – Corporate Finance
Due to the ongoing concern of COVID-19 and its impact on travel, all study abroad activities at NC State, including the France: Corporate Finance Program, have been cancelled for Summer 2020. It is our hope that this program will be available for Summer 2021. An official announcement of the Summer 2021 programs will come in August 2020.
