Why Study Abroad Matters?
Academics
Studying abroad is a learning experience with a high impact that will push you to change the way you think about the world. In your experience, you will be immersed in a new culture and will visit the sites that you are reading about. Students who take the opportunity to study abroad return more motivated and engaged to their degree program.
Personal Growth
Students who study abroad undergo tremendous personal growth because of their experiences abroad. Immersing yourself in a new culture with different perspectives, a different language, and different values gives you the opportunity to reflect on your own culture and perspective. Studying abroad is also highly regarded by employers and professional schools.
Studying abroad with a program in the Marketing Department will open your horizons to explore new things and get personal growth in aspects such as:
- Learning a new language
- Appreciate other cultures
- Overcome challenges
- Make life-long friends
