CIMBA campus and environs

Program: The CIMBA semester program is especially attractive to Purdue students majoring in Management and Communication. The CIMBA approach is to combine technical competence with knowledge of European culture, international relations, etiquette and Italian cuisine. Outside speakers provide students with an opportunity to meet European business leaders, and excursions offer a peek at the world of Italian businesses, large and small. Courses: Click here for more information on courses. Location: The CIMBA center is located in the small, northeastern Italian town of Paderno del Grappa, in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains north of Venice. The location gives participants the chance to live in a small Italian community while providing direct access to the cities of Venice (about an hour away), Padua, Vicenza, Verona and Treviso. The region has enjoyed Europe's highest rate of economic growth and low unemployment over the past several years.

| Academic Program |
|
There are two one-week travel breaks and two extended weekends that are scheduled during the program. To allow for extended weekends and travel breaks, there are some Saturday classes. Students may select up to 18 units of coursework. Classes are delivered in English and are designed to be international in flavor and to satisfy core or elective requirements. The University of Kansas administers this program. Students are required to take one required course in the area of European Culture. This one-credit course was created to specifically enhance the learning experience abroad and allow the student to learn more about international business, the European Union and other topics pertaining to Italian culture and history. For students who would like a broader or more in-depth cultural class, they will have the option of taking a three-credit class in its place.
