Thoughts of Spring Break Study Abroad

Hey there, everyone.

I have read a lot of forums on here about studying abroad and how it greatly impacts your resume, but I was curious if this was damaged by how long the program was. I'm considering doing a spring break study abroad program time in Belgium. The program would only be two weeks long and we would be receiving course credit for management classes, so I was curious if this would still be good to leverage on job interviews for investment banking or just a waste of money and time.

Furthermore, I only need three courses to graduate in the spring. I'm currently signed up to take Financial Markets, Investments, and, Derivatives. If I accept the study abroad program, I would get rid of one of the courses since it would give me a course that still applies towards my degree (Why take 12 credit hours when you only need 9?).

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Thanks.
