Influence Your Calling

Less than 10% of U.S. undergraduate students participate in studying abroad. You would be part of a small pool of students who can say that they’ve had international experience. By planning early and electing to study abroad, these experiences can influence your major, career, and the rest of your life.

Become Marketable

Employers search for job candidates who possess soft skills like adaptability, flexibility, open-mindedness, boldness, confidence, and fluency in a foreign language. These skills are critical to your success as a future employer.

Career Prospects 

Gain a competitive edge by studying abroad and listing your experience on your resume. You can then contribute a global perspective and enhanced skills to your future career. 

Confidence

Studying abroad will test you in many ways. Students return home with the feeling that they have grown personally, academically, and professionally. The confidence to make difficult decisions are a normal part of living and studying abroad.

Continued International Experience

Your first time abroad may be the hardest. Yet, continued international exposure pushes you to become a full-time student every time. You’ll learn valuable lessons about the world in and out of the classroom. You can take what you learn and apply them to your community, which can serve as a catalyst for change.
