Study Abroad
The purpose of the Study Abroad program is to encourage the development of intercultural and international understanding. The course offerings promote travel study classes throughout the world that will encourage students to experience living abroad, helping them appreciate global issues through the lens of another culture or language and to develop a deeper understanding of the world around them, their country, and themselves.
