Salisbury University has a long-standing relationship with the Grenoble Ecole de Management. Academic Year 2014-15 marks an exciting new development in our long institutional friendship as SU students are able to obtain a second bachelors degree from the Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM) by studying there during their senior year. Business students studying at GEM during their senior year will graduate in four years and earn two bachelors degrees: one from Salisbury and one from Grenoble Ecole de Management. Students may also study at GEM for a single semester gaining valuable academic and personal experience.

HOST INSTITUTION: Established in 1984, Grenoble Ecole de Management delivers 40 national and international programs from the undergraduate to the Doctoral level. The school is one of the very few, worldwide, to hold a triple accreditation (AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA). The School and its programs are ranked in the top 20 best European Business Schools according to the Financial Times and consistently ranks among the top 50 business programs worldwide.

HOUSING: SU students studying at Grenoble Ecole de Management are able to live in apartments around the city of Grenoble. GEM provides assistance to find suitable lodging. The city has a large population of students and researchers on short-term assignments and as such there are many opportunities for housing throughout the city. The school has also a mentoring program to help students with various administrative issues. To learn more about what it means to be an international student at GEM, take a look at their International Sudent Handbook.

CITY OF GRENOBLE: Grenoble has a population of 450,000 and the economic importance of this city is second only to Paris. The region is host to several U.S. companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Caterpillar, Sun Microsystems and Becton-Dickinson. There is a tram that runs throughout the city and is a great way to see some of the sights. Visitors can hike up the mountains for beautiful views of the valley below. Only three hours southeast of Paris by high-speed train and one hour from Geneva, Switzerland, Grenoble is the center of the Rhone-Alps region of France. This area is well known for its proximity to many of the great ski resorts in the Alps and was the site of the 1968 Olympic Games.
