Meet luke OVERMAN
“The international dual-degree is what attracted me to the Belk College of Business. It enables students to study at a school abroad and gain valuable insight from experts in another country. Given that so many fields in economics have an international scope, gaining the expertise and perspective of global peers is invaluable in the pursuit of solving fundamentally issues.”
