Winter DBIs

Winter 2023/24
December through March

Updated: August 21, 2023

• DBI programs have a program fee
  Mostly administrative fee that is payable directly to the partner school. This would cover course material, some meals, cultural tours, etc. In case it also covers hotels, a note is added to the program fee description. 
• Short intensive electives are just courses
  Most do not have a program fee, unless they offer a cultural program alongside. (example Argentina).
• Tuition: For all programs offered, UNC Kenan-Flagler participants pay tuition for the credits earned to UNC
  For FT MBA this is part of the flat tuition fee, for everyone else it is per credit for the course you choose.
• VA benefits excluded for DBI programs

_{Applications remain open}

This year we’ll focus on the Tourism Industry, most specifically, Sustainable Tourism in the Galapagos. After the feedback from last year, the new regulations in the Galapagos which prohibit visits to sites related to energy, and the knowledge that our faculty members have about the Tourism Industry in the Galapagos, we decided that this was the best option for the Galapagos part of the program.
