Why Should My Student Study Abroad?

Every student who hopes to succeed in the global economy should study abroad. Studying abroad offers students competitive advantages and cross-cultural competence that open up a wealth of immediate personal and long-term professional opportunities.

The Study Abroad Experience:

• Helps students gain in-depth exposure to foreign cultures in a way that cannot be accomplished in the classroom or on a vacation.
• Exposes students to new ways of thinking about the world and their home country.
• Promotes intercultural competency skills and promotes greater confidence, independence, and self-sufficiency.
• Develops or improves foreign language skills.
• Brings a unique intercultural perspective to a student's chosen major or academic study.
