Through Carleton's International Business program, I am able to combine my passions for Japan and business. The program sets itself apart with a mandatory exchange in third year, where I get to immerse myself in the culture while expanding my business knowledge. This unique opportunity to learn firsthand has been an incredible experience! Beyond the exchange, I love that Carleton's thriving campus fosters a sense of community. The countless resources and clubs make it easy to explore diverse interests and build lifelong connections.
