Abstract
This case study is designed to provide the student with a real life example of an analysis
to determine various methods of billing students for study abroad programs. The example was
based on a university that operated over twenty five various programs using four different
models including programs operated by the university in London, England, Innsbruck, Austria,
Angers, France, Washington, D.C. (this was part of the international studies budget), Rome,
Italy, Santiago, Chile, and Fremantle, Australia. Direct enrollment in universities in Ireland,
England, Mexico, Australia, and Spain. The last two groups of programs included locations
provided by other colleges or consortiums.
The study was started because the university started providing study abroad opportunities
but did not track the effect of the various programs on the budget and the spending was volatile
with a lack of internal control.
