\"\"<\/a>Top 5 Reasons to Study Abroad<\/strong><\/p>\n

We believe that study abroad should be an essential component of a college degree<\/strong>, however according to the Open Doors 2013 Report on International and Educational Exchange <\/em>less than 10%<\/strong> of the 2.6 million graduates last year studied abroad. It\u2019s time to make a change and give all students what they need to succeed<\/strong> in today\u2019s interconnected world<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Globalization <\/strong>is changing the way the world works. Employers increasingly seek workers who have both cross-cultural skills<\/strong> and cutting-edge technical skills.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Competency in languages<\/strong> other than English is increasingly important. Today\u2019s graduates are just as likely to work with people from Beijing and Bangalore as those from Boston or Boise, making the ability to work across cultures<\/strong> essential to success in all arenas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Study abroad opens students\u2019 eyes<\/strong> to new ways of thinking, instilling a more informed approach to problem-solving<\/strong> in cross-cultural contexts.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Many of the world\u2019s most influential innovations<\/strong> are originating from the collaboration of cross-cultural teams<\/strong>, often located continents away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            \n
          1. Study abroad has been shown to improve grades, boost confidence, and help with college graduation<\/strong> and retention rates<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
