Business has never been more global. The participation of high-school students from around the world enriches the Berkeley Business Academy for Youth experience for everyone.
International students who are proficient in English are welcome to apply to the program. A member of the B-BAY Admissions Committee will interview you to determine your level of English proficiency. International students requiring a visa to the US must apply by (April 15, 2019).
Because B-BAY is a non-credit, two-week program
- Citizens of countries who need a visa to enter the United State, should obtain a B-2 “Visitor for Pleasure” visa, not an F-1 student visa. This allows students to enjoy tourist activities as well as to participate in B-BAY.
- Citizens of countries who participate in the Visa Waiver Program should enter the U.S. in WT “Waiver Tourist” status which permits the same flexibility.
Go to the US State Department’s travel site for more information.
