Reasons to Study Abroad
Study abroad can be an enriching and eye-opening adventure, where
learning extends to the world beyond the classroom walls. There is no
substitute for living and studying in a foreign country if you want to gain
in-depth knowledge of another culture's customs, people, and language. In
addition, you will find that living and studying or working in another country can
develop important transnational competencies that can be of interest to future
employers.
Personal Growth
Students who return from a study abroad program often see it as an
experience which matured them personally and intellectually. They praise
being exposed to new ways of thinking and living, which encourages growth
and independence. This is seldom an easy experience, but it is universally
praised as worthwhile, often even life-transforming. After immersing
themselves in a new culture, mastering the challenges of learning in a new and
different academic environment, and experiencing the many highs and lows of
being a ’foreigner,' students typically return home with increased
self-confidence and justifiable pride in what they have achieved
New Perspective on World Affairs
Study abroad can broaden your intellectual horizons and deepen your
knowledge and understanding of international, political, and economic issues.
It is almost certain that you will return from your sojourn abroad with a more
informed and accurate perspective on world affairs. You will also have
first-hand knowledge of how another culture approaches the tasks and
challenges of everyday life, a sense of how 'global' the international culture
has become, and an appreciation of the importance of international
cooperation.
Career Enhancement
But study abroad does more than promote academic enrichment and
personal growth. It also can enhance your employment prospects, especially
in the Gelds of business, international affairs, and government service.
Employers increasingly seek graduates who have studied abroad. They know
that students who have successfully completed a study abroad program are
likely to possess international knowledge and often second-language skills.
Such students are also likely to have other transnational competencies that
graduate and professional schools and employers value just as highly:
cross-cultural communication skills, analytical skills, an understanding of and
familiarity with local customs and cultural contexts, flexibility, resilience, and
the ability to adapt to new circumstances and deal constructively with
differences.
