Studying abroad is a wonderful academic opportunity for your student to earn credits toward their degree while developing a global awareness and desirable skills for future employers. The benefits of studying abroad can be academic, professional, and personal. Students who participate in education abroad can:
- earn academic credit toward a degree program
- learn a new language or improve existing language skills
- gain a competitive edge in the job market or for graduate school
- develop intercultural knowledge and abilities
- gain a new perspective on a field of study
- explore cultural differences and find common values between cultures
- become a global citizen
- develop independence and self-reliance
Once your student identifies program opportunities that compliment their personal and academic goals, you still have an important role in supporting them through each step: submitting applications, pre-departure preparations, adapting and thriving while overseas, and returning to celebrate their newfound independence and accomplishments.
Staff in the Office of International Education and Global Initiatives (IEGI) are happy to help you learn more about 海角乱伦社区's education abroad opportunities and about the education abroad process!
