FGX is a two-credit business elective (BADM 1260) taught during the spring semester with a week-long global experience during spring break or May term. FGX lets students get a jump start on study abroad, learn how international issues and cultural differences impact the business world, and take the first step in developing a global mindset.
Some FGX programs are limited to specific Leeds populations, while other FGX programs are open to all Leeds first-year students.
Program costs vary听by location but range from $4,000 to $5,300. Upon signing the FGX student agreement in October, a $500 non-refundable deposit听will be placed on the CU student account. The remaining balance is due in the spring along with standard CU tuition. Partial scholarships ($1,000 - $2,000) may be awarded based on demonstrated financial need. Students may apply for scholarship consideration through the online FGX enrollment form.
For the spring of 2025,听we are excited to offer enrollment for first-year students. More information on the enrollment process can be found on the FGX FAQs page. Tentative program locations are listed below.
