The Global Scholar Program in the School of Business at Virginia
Commonwealth University is designed to enable undergraduate students
with leadership capability to refine inherent talents and obtain
new skills to prepare them to become effective leaders in an ever-changing
business environment. A group of approximately 30 outstanding students
will be placed in an entering cohort. A portion of the coursework
will be in special sections designated for the Global Scholar cohort
while the remainder of the courses will be selected from classes
offered to the general student population.
The VCU Global Scholar in Business Program will
Match each student with a mentor from the corporate community.
Work with each student to obtain an internship opportunity or
relationship with an external corporate entity.
Work with each student to assure that they have an individualized
international experience that will be appropriate for them and
their course of study.
Allow students to select any major and track within the School
of Business and encourage participation in other academic offerings
such as the VCU Honors program; the Certificate in International
Management Studies; or a minor in International Studies, Latin
American Area Studies, Russian Area Studies, Economics or a foreign
language.
Provide flexibility so students entering with university level
credit can complete the program in less than four years in order
that they may pursue employment, an MBA or other education.
Provide opportunities for scholarships for tuition and study
abroad.
The director of the VCU Global Scholar in Business Program is
Dr.
Robert Andrews. He has a long history of working with international
students and has worked in France for four years of his professional
life.
