International Immersions: Gaining more than a language |
|||
|
“An international education does not just open eyes and broaden perspectives. In an increasingly interdependent world, it is essential to fostering the global and cross-cultural knowledge and understanding necessary for effective U.S. leadership, competitiveness, and security.” (http://www.nafsa.org) It is common for people to think that studying abroad is a luxury that won’t help you in finding a job. But today an overseas experience can be something that many employees will have needed to do. Employers favor students with experience abroad since it shows they are able to handle new experiences and sometimes a foreign language. People who develop a global perspective gain a competitive edge in the world marketplace.
It has been proven that students who go abroad are more able to view the world from new perspectives, hold further concern with international politics, and show more cross-cultural interest than other students who do not go abroad.
