Study Abroad Programs
The Padnos International Center and various academic departments have created Major/Minor Advising Sheets to help direct students to study abroad programs that are compatible with a particular major, minor, or degree program. Our goal is to create a resource that can ultimately be used to help students identify a set of ideal study abroad programs through which, by taking courses in their major or minor, they can continue to advance toward their degree at GVSU. If your major or minor is not listed here, your eligibility to study abroad is in no way affected. Please contact a Study Abroad Adviser with any questions.
Develop some of these technical and professional competencies to be successful:
- Accounting and budgeting
- Ability to network and market yourself
- Ability to work on a team
- Leadership
- Flexibility/adaptability
- Highly organized
- Creativity
- Analytical mind and the ability to self-reflect
- Determination and grit
