Winter Intersession Programs
The Deadline for Baruch Application to Study Abroad for
2026 Winter Intersession Programs is October 1, 2025.
Winter programs are usually 3-4 weeks in length. The programs for the winter are normally available on our website by mid-September. However, many CUNY Colleges and other sponsors of Study Abroad Programs have not finalized decisions on whether they will be offering programs during the 2026 Winter Intersession. The list of programs on the table below under “Other Winter Intersession Programs” is up to date based on the information currently available. We will try to keep the list as accurate as possible, but please check the websites of providers listed to verify with the program sponsor that the program will be running in January 2026.
If you discover a 2026 Winter Intersession program that is not listed, you may submit a petition to be allowed to apply to that program through the Study Abroad Application Portal.
If you have any questions, please sign up for a Study Abroad Virtual Advising Session or come to the Study Abroad Office during In-person Drop-in Hours.
Winter Graduate Business Program in Lyon, France
The Weissman Center for International Business, an academic center of the Zicklin School of Business, offers a winter intersession study abroad program, “International Business Practices and Policies: A European Perspective,” which is held in Lyon, France. The program, designed in collaboration with the School of Business and Management (l’Institut d’Administration des Entreprises, or IAE) at Jean Moulin University in Lyon, will examine business practices within the French and wider European context. This program offers graduate business students the opportunity to study alongside students from Lyon’s IAE, a degree of academic immersion largely unknown in programs of this type.
The program lectures and seminars will study the economic and political history of contemporary Europe, the institutions and policies of the European Union, and French business practices. Students receive credit for IBS 9793, Special Topics in International Business. Students interested in learning more about the program should contact the Director of Study Abroad, Dr. Richard Mitten, at richard.mitten@baruch.cuny.edu. Students should consult the Lyon January Program Information Sheet about the program.
Applications for the January 2026 Graduate Business Program in Lyon will be accepted through October 15, 2025 (i.e., beyond the normal deadline of October 1). Students interested in the program are encouraged to sign up for a Study Abroad Advising Session with Dr. Richard Mitten, Director of Study Abroad.
