Through teaching and learning powered by world-class research, meaningful community engagement, and a global outlook, SFU Beedie takes business education beyond the walls of academia and empowers people from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to reimagine the role of business in tackling society’s most significant challenges.

Field Schools
Field Schools are kind of an extended field trip. They involve the off-campus delivery of SFU courses for a group of 10 to 20 students, directed by an SFU instructor. You’ll undertake a combination of coursework, assignments and field studies relevant to the location.
On-Campus Opportunities
Gain a global perspective, while still on campus. A typical on campus opportunity would be a semester-long cohort program, with students from multiple partner schools coming together to study a common topic.
