GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES
VSB provides you with a variety of opportunities to gain the international business experience necessary to become outstanding leaders and global citizens that will enhance your competitiveness in today's workplace.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CO-MAJOR/MINOR
To earn the International Business (IB) co-major, students must take it in conjunction with their primary major within VSB. A minor in IB will supplement a business degree by providing cross-cultural skills valued by global companies.
The Global Citizens Program is open to VSB freshmen.
This 16-week overseas study experience combines academic coursework with a practical internship located in either London or Singapore! This program is designed to offer a unique and life-altering academic experience to first-year business students where they can:
- Challenge pre-conceived notions of the world
- Test career assumptions early
- Study overseas again as a sophomore, junior or first-semester senior
GLOBAL LEADERSHIP FELLOWS PROGRAM
Designed to provide students with an opportunity to emphasize and integrate global leadership throughout their undergraduate experience, the Global Leadership Fellows Program (GLF) includes special curricular and extracurricular offerings that encourage the increased international study and support the pursuit of careers in global business. Students who fulfill the GLF Program requirements are awarded a certificate that names them a life-long VSB Global Leadership Fellow.
CUSTOMIZED VSB PROGRAMMING ABROAD
We believe that all students, faculty and staff should have exposure to and develop an appreciation of foreign cultures, political systems, religious traditions, and economic institutions to become thoughtful global citizens.
