Concentrated Studies for a Future in Business
Prepare for a career or advanced study in business with UC Berkeley Extension’s Fundamental Studies in Business and Entrepreneurship (FSBE) program. Whether you need a study-abroad experience to complete a degree requirement or simply want general knowledge of business practices, FSBE is the ideal study-abroad option before entering the workforce or attending graduate programs in the United States.
You don’t need previous business or work experience to apply—the program is open to recent university graduates and upper-level undergraduates.
