Overseas trip (Optional)
The Fast-Track Professional MBA offers an optional overseas trip as part of an International Business elective course in the spring semester. In recent years, students have taken trips to China and Cuba and gained exposure to international business practices and culture. Students choosing this elective course earn three hours of academic credit. Costs for the trips are not included with tuition for the three-credit hour elective. Trip destinations and pricing are subject to change and will be announced each fall.
Scholarships
There are no scholarships within the Terry College of Business currently available for Fast-Track Professional MBA students. There may be scholarships available through private foundations and/or professional organizations that you can apply for on your own. The internet is a good starting place to begin a scholarship search. One helpful link you might want to explore is a Scholarship Announcements page that is maintained by the Office of Student Financial Aid at UGA.

Students requiring need-based financial assistance should visit the UGA's Office of Student Financial Aid. Financial aid application deadlines are posted at this site. In addition to the Office of Student Financial Aid, information on assistance in the form of student loans, both public and private, is available through the Graduate Management Admission Council.
