High School Summer Business Program Abroad

Discover international business.

At the NSLC on International Business & Finance, you’ll explore how global markets connect economies, industries, and cultures around the world. Step into the mindset of a global strategist as you learn how companies expand across borders, navigate trade policies, and adapt to shifting economic landscapes. Through hands-on challenges and discussions, you’ll uncover how innovation, diplomacy, and financial insight drive business on an international scale.

NSLC is proud to partner with the Oxford Scholars Programme and the world-renowned professors of the University of Oxford.

I had such a memorable experience at the NSLC! The people I met, staff that led me, and motivating speakers really changed my perspective of both myself and others.
