Never
has a global perspective been more important
than during these times of worldwide economic
competition and political change. Studying
in another country, in another culture,
affords you an understanding of that culture
that no academic study anywhere in the
United States can provide.
International study enables
students to:
|
Increase awareness of cultural diversity
and international issues; |
|
Prepare
for diverse employment opportunities
in today's global marketplace; |
|
Develop language skills in a second or third language; |
|
Adapt
to new circumstances and approach real
differences constructively; |
|
Make
practical applications of classroom
theories; |
|
Cultivate
important contacts and lasting friendships; |
|
Exchange
ideas and information with people from
different cultures; |
|
Live
in a challenging atmosphere that inspires
both personal and intellectual growth;
and |
|
Gain
new perspectives on a variety of subjects. |
