Short-term Abroad
Short-term study abroad programs are a great option for students whose responsibilities make semester-long absences difficult. Students travel with a professor and other university students for an up-close and in-depth look at a specific country or region.
UNIBusiness offers four short-term programs in addition to those offered by other UNI colleges.

Earn your Liberal Arts Core capstone credit through this course. Travel to Nicaragua and spend approximately two weeks working side-by-side with Nicaraguans.
