- 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 relationshps.
- Studying abroad improves 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
