Study Abroad Programs

Benjamin Franklin, inventor and United States founding father, once said, "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." Studying abroad is one of the best ways to be "involved" and not only learn via hands on experience but also make memories for the rest of your life! While abroad, you will learn what makes the different cultures of the world unique, try a variety of exotic foods, and meet all kinds of interesting people with remarkable stories. You'll also be in the perfect position to quickly pick up another language. Ask any language expert the best way to learn a language and they will tell you, "Go to the place where it is spoken to learn from native speakers!" To truly master a language you need to be constantly surrounded by the language which will force you to learn to speak it out of necessity.

Speaking several languages is an essential skill in today’s society, but understanding how to work with people from around the globe is even more important. Does yes really mean yes in China? Is pointing with your index finger rude in some places? Which country is it polite to hang up on someone? Who should you kiss, nod at, or shake a hand when greeting? Are you standing too close or too far from someone? Are you talking too much or too little? Can you negotiate the price of an item or contract or not? These are just a few of the social intricacies woven deep inside of a culture which you cannot learn until you live with and truly experience that culture.

Studying abroad will lead you to a world full of exciting landscapes. From the world’s highest mountains in Tibet and Nepal to the world’s lowest point, the Dead Sea in Israel and Jordan, there is so much beauty and wonder for the eye of the traveler to behold. Asia’s multi-tiered rice paddies shine like mirrors reflecting the sun’s rays back to heaven. Africa’s largely undisturbed natural environment is teeming with all kinds of fascinating wildlife that freely roam the land. The tropical rain forests and diverse species that inhabit South America are unique to that part of the world. The history and ancient architecture in Europe and the Middle East are breathtaking. Regardless of which country you choose for your study abroad program, you are sure to have an experience of a lifetime (and some great photos).

The world has timeless lessons to teach us, but as Ben Franklin reminds us, we must get out and get involved to truly learn them. Get involved today by choosing a study abroad program that best fits your schedule and goals. A world of opportunities awaits you.
