Global Learning Opportunities Worldwide (GLOW)

At Rutgers School of Management and Labor Relations (SMLR), "study abroad" isn’t just travel—it’s transformation. Through our Global Learning Journeys framework, HRM and LSER students can immerse themselves in semester programs, faculty-led short courses, or international internships that meet Rutgers' rigorous academic standards while expanding cultural intelligence, leadership skills, and career readiness. Our student-facing campaign, GLOW: Global Learning Opportunities Worldwide, makes it easy to take the Scarlet Global Edge—whether shadowing HR leaders in Asia, studying labor relations in Europe, or gaining real-world work experience abroad—so you graduate with the global awareness and skills that set you apart.

Schedule an appointment with your SMLR academic advisor to determine which global learning opportunity is an option for you!
