Study Abroad Programs
Lead others in an ever changing and intensely competitive world by discovering the world yourself. Develop your technical, cultural and interpersonal skills by studying abroad in the country of your choice. Explore the value of diverse views, and become an ethical global citizen as well as a respected business person. Go skiing out in the French Alps after class at the Grenoble School of Management (France). Relax on weekend trip to the beach after a weeks’ worth of study at the University of the Sunshine Coast (Australia). Practice your Spanish while eating authentic Mexican food before class at UDLAP (Mexico). There is a lot to learn, explore, and discover while earning course credit abroad. Students interested in combining their study abroad experience with an internship, or just looking to do an internship have some options. Customized internships are available in a few locations through GVSU Internships, and other programs such as ELAP and World Endeavors.

- Project Management
- Team Management
- Information Management
