Why Should Business Students Study Abroad?

It can be as simple as wanderlust, an itch to get out and see the world. But the truth of the matter is that Study abroad is an incredible way to enhance your educational experience because it offers an unparalleled means for you to learn about human diversity, culture and the complexity of the modern world. That's why large numbers of American college students have decided that studying abroad is an important part of their college education.

For future business leaders, being experienced in multiple cultures increases your skill set and make you more valuable to organizations. For these reasons, the Andreas School of Business offers Junior and Senior year students the opportunity to travel and study abroad for one semester during the academic year.

Here are some advantages to think about as you consider a study abroad experience:

	Learn away! You experience a culture different from your own. You will learn that people from different countries view things differently. This experience can help you with your personal development and your critical thinking skills.
	Become a polyglot! You can take courses in and practice your second or third language. There is no better language lab than the country itself. And more opportunities develop for you as you language skills increase.
	Executives like it on resumes! Having an experience abroad may make your resume stand out more since you have had experience in dealing with a different culture.
	Diversity Training! You will interact with students from all over the globe who may be studying in the program you have chosen.
	College Credit! You may get academic credit for the subjects you choose to study.
	Have some fun! You can enjoy the sights, museums, architecture, and cuisine of the country you visit.

If you are interested in incorporating a study abroad portion, it is important that you start early in the application process. Once you decide or if you want to talk about it more, see Dr. Tejeda for an appointment.
