Why study abroad?

  • Studying abroad gives you the opportunity to travel and to get to know another culture first hand.

  • Studying abroad will help you develop new skills and give you opportunities beyond what you can have on your home campus.

  • You will learn about yourself. You will learn that you can do things you never imagined you would be able to do.

  • You will discover that you will learn more about your own country, in part because you will begin to see it from the point of view of those in your host country. You may have to explain the doings of the US to your overseas friends.

  • You will expand your world view. You won't see your home culture the same way. If you're lucky, you will return  not only with friends from around the world but you will also be more informed and less biased  about other cultures.

  • Many study abroad programs are either in English-speaking countries OR, in non-English speaking countries, the academic courses for students from overseas may be in English. You don't need to speak a language other than English to study abroad, but think about this: study abroad is the best way to learn a language: by immersion.

  • Studying abroad may improve your employment opportunities in an increasingly competitive job market. Only 4% of US undergraduates study abroad in a world marketplace that is increasingly globalized.

Bon voyage!
