Why Study Abroad?

A better question is: Why would you not?  Our returning students continually reaffirm the importance and validity of study abroad as a life-changing experience that fosters both a student’s personal and academic growth.

Personally…

• Challenge yourself in a new environment.
• Meet new and exciting people from different backgrounds and cultures.
• Develop life-long friendships.

Academically…

• Take advantage of a hands-on experience and learn both inside and outside the classroom.
• Gain fluency in a foreign language.
• Learn about life from a different perspective.
• Earn college credits and satisfy major, minor or distribution requirements.

Professionally …

• Build your resume as well as your knowledge of other cultures and international policy.
• Cultivate a global perspective of business.
• Learn how to comfortably communicate and socialize with people from other parts of the world.
