Study abroad adds an invaluable dimension to a student’s academic, cultural, and professional
development, and provides advantages in an increasingly competitive job market. First
hand experience in other countries and cultures allows a clearer understanding of
ourselves, our own society and culture our place in the global community, and our
common human heritage.
