Global Opportunities

The Lucas College of Business links cutting edge business education with award winning international programs, preeminent global companies, and student organizations focused on global business to provide students with extensive opportunities.

In addition to faculty members providing a global perspective in a wide range of business concentrations, students have many options for developing their cross-cultural skillsets and global networks.  Numerous programs, classes and organizations at the Lucas College and the rest of 91猎奇 help students enhance their global education and leverage connections with professionals in globally focused organizations.

We offer a variety of classes throughout our academic programs that incorporate the global business lens into the curriculum. Students can explore business topics such as economics, finance, marketing, human resource management, leadership, operations and supply chain management from a global perspective.

Student organizations with an emphasis on international perspectives provide additional opportunities for students to focus on international business, cultivate global leadership skills and participate in internships abroad. These student organizations emphasize bringing global internship opportunities and cross-cultural collaboration to students as a core purpose.

We present a wide selection of globally oriented programs structured to empower global citizenship through international work with established companies, global dialogue, and travel. Our programs provide opportunities for students to network with international business professionals, participate in international internships, attend dedicated lectures on global leadership and create a personal development plan to realize their global business aspirations.

• Organizations

  • International Business Association

    The International Business Association of San Jose State University exists to support students on their journey toward global citizenship. We provide the connections, resources, networking opportunities, and mentorship necessary to help students create their own unique path toward a truly global career. We encourage travel, exploration, curiosity, and the insatiable need to learn. We pledge to never fear things that are foreign to us or different. We embrace change, delight in similarities, but relish the differences across cultures.

    Faculty-Led  Programs

    Faculty-Led Programs (FLP) are overseas courses taught by 91猎奇 faculty from various academic fields for 2 - 4 weeks during the academic breaks of winter, spring, and summer. FLPs typically provide credits of 3 - 6 units. A majority of our programs satisfy upper division GE courses (Area R, S, & V) and major-specific courses. See the program list at http://www.sjsu.edu/gei/flp/programs/summer/index.html for a sampling of the exciting and educational FLP offerings.

The College provides scholarships for FLP student participants (generally $500). Start by working with the FLP office and faculty leaders. Once you are accepted into a program, you will receive an invitation to apply for a Lucas College study abroad scholarship.
