France: Summer Business in Paris with ESSCA
GVSU partner programs are highly independent. These programs require students to have a high level of flexibility and the ability to navigate much of the program independently. For these reasons, partner programs are not the best fit for many students planning to study abroad. GVSU has many options available that offer a high level of support and guidance with external study abroad providers and through our faculty-led options.

"I met college students from all over the world that I had a lot in common with (China, Mexico, England, Australia, and more), but I also learned a lot from them about their respective cultures as well. I was able to not only study marketing and management and see one of the most beautiful places in the world, but enhance my resume. I now will be interning at a highly international company this summer, BASF, due to my international experience. This will give me even more opportunities to travel in the future. " -Katelin Frazier
