Study Abroad
Begin your global adventure now!
Studying abroad is a unique educational experience that provides global learning opportunities that are critical to a student’s success in the 21st Century.
Students who have studied abroad have greater intercultural understanding, better grasp the complexity of global issues, and are better equipped to work with people from other countries. Studies have even shown a positive correlation between students who study abroad and higher grade point averages and degree completion rates. And this is especially true for underrepresented and at-risk students.
