Study Abroad for Business Schools
With a Focus on Corporate Social Responsibility
Crooked Trails specializes in custom-crafted study abroad programs with a focus on corporate social responsibility. We do this by looking at CSR across whole strata of business layers. Experiential Learning about Corporate Social Responsibility and its role on Sustainable Development, internally and externally, allows students the opportunity to make informed career choices. Meeting with and comparing Multinational and National Company leaders provides the opportunity to compare what CSR means to each organization. Dialoguing with the NGOs and public sector leaders provides insight into the public-private partnerships. Community homestays and visits to native villages affected by business, give students the opportunity to understand the relationship between business, environment, and culture. Work projects help students put into play the knowledge and skills learned during their studies.
We provide:
- a North American guide/facilitator to accompany the group
- all logistical organization including educators, transportation, lodging, homestays, service project planning, local guides, meals and interpreters
- flexible scheduling to meet your school schedule
- assistance with immunization and travel insurance questions.
You provide:
- your students, energy and commitment
- your curriculum (we are happy to offer suggestions and assistance)
- discipline during the program.
We develop affordable programs built on local in-country connections that highlight your agenda and goals in your country of choice. The needs of the communities and the abilities and ideas of your students are combined into a service project that provides a meaningful and memorable experience. This presents a unique opportunity for students to explore a specialized area of focus in an international setting.

“I had a very clear vision of what I wanted to accomplish with my exploration seminar, but I had no idea how to turn my vision into reality. In fact, I wasn’t even sure it was possible! But Crooked Trails did it. They developed a program for my students that was educational and transformational. Crooked Trails’ exploration seminars have made it possible for me to offer my students an experience that they could never get in a classroom or, for that matter, on any other study abroad trip. Their trips are truly unique and innovative.” – Jennifer Gregan-Paxton; Assoc. Prof. of Marketing, Univ. of Delaware
