I would be pleased to help get you started in considering a study abroad experience in the upcoming year. Reach me at herb.mattord@kennesaw.edu to get started.

The courses that I teach in the USGG London program are targeted toward Cole College of Business BBA and CYBR Majors. If you are in the Upper Division (or will be by Summer 2026) you could take ISA 3710 and BUSA 3500 for 6 hours of credit. All Coles students of any Major can earn 6 hours of Business Elective credit. Those students who are BBA-IS or BBA-ISA, or CYBR could earn up to 6 hours of Major Elective credit.

Your campus may have a financial support program. Contact your study abroad counselor for more information.
