Study Abroad
Reasons for Studying Abroad
It is important to prepare our undergraduates to live and work in a global society and study abroad is one of the ways in which this can be accomplished.
Recent federal reports cite a language and cultural skill shortage in more than 70 agencies critical to national security, public diplomacy and economic competitiveness.
Studying abroad accelerates skill building and strengthens strategic relationships.
Studying abroad opens the door to new career options.
Living in a foreign country helps students better understand the world at large as well as their own culture
