Scheller College of Business students are fortunate to have significant free elective and management elective flexibility in their degree requirements, enough to participate in one or two study abroad programs and still stay on track for graduation.
Students interested in international business are encouraged to participate in at least one study abroad program or complete the International Plan, which is a challenging academic program that develops global competency within the context of the Management major.

Work Abroad
The Division of Professional Practice offers opportunities for students to find paid international work experience directly related to his or her major. They also offer valuable information for housing, passports or visas, and all the pertinent information students need before working abroad.
International Plan
GT Oxford Study Abroad Program, Vienna Austria
Students interested in studying abroad, working abroad, or completing the international management certificate should look into the International Plan. The International Plan builds global competence by requiring students to engage in a minimum of twenty-six weeks of international experience (work, research, or study) related to their discipline, to develop a proficiency in a second language, and to take internationally-oriented coursework. This experience provides students a deeper global competency than traditional international opportunities
Dr. Chuck Parsons is the Scheller College of Business faculty representative for the International Plan. E-mail for questions regarding the International Plan, or if you are interested in signing up.
