Become a global citizen

If you’re looking to fill your global studies course requirements or simply gain firsthand insight into the political or economic climate of your host country, a study abroad experience gives you great exposure to different systems and experiences. Get a boost with career development by making connections between classroom learning and your host community. 

Whether you’re just starting out on your language study or you’re speaking like a local, we have courses to help you improve your communication skills and increase your cultural awareness. From interacting with locals to learning more about your host country during excursions to historical locations, your study abroad experience will leave you with a more profound understanding of your host country, its people, and the world.  

 *The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) has identified teamwork – or the skills to manage conflict, respect diverse cultures, and show resilience when faced with a challenge – as a crucial career competency. Pursuing language courses abroad also helps you become more effective at cross-cultural communication. Being able to engage respectfully with people from different cultural, religious, and political backgrounds is a valued skill in a range of different career fields.
