Travel Abroad
Students can grow intellectually in many ways while studying abroad. International education literature and research most consistently note the following benefits:
Participation in a foreign language and cultural immersion program results in increased language competence and cultural fluency
Taking courses in their major while abroad offers students a comparative perspective on the discipline and related subject areas
Acquiring knowledge in broad,
general areas of study increases a student’s capacity to think systematically and critically
hands-on international opportunities such as internships, field training, research, and independent study, are highly valued by students and can benefit their future careers or graduate study
Students are shown to mature emotionally, to improve their non-verbal communication skills, and to develop a more sophisticated level of international understanding and cross-cultural sensitivity.
