Why Study Abroad?

• Language acquisition - The world market place is shrinking rapidly. World languages are not only valuable in the work force they are valuable in the real world.
• Academic credit - You can earn academic credit toward your degree.
• Practical experience - Study abroad is an incredible way to gain some real world experience. Additionally you may find that only an international program can offer the real expertise you desire in your education.
• Resume building - International experience is ranked high among many employers as a critical asset for prospective employees. Study abroad shows that you are resourceful, adventurous, internationally minded, and diverse.
• Experience of a lifetime - In a couple years you will forget the name of your literature professor in Grenoble or the name of your dorm in Beijing, but you'll never forget the friends you made or the incredible experiences you shared.
