I am not a Liberal Arts student. What are the advantages to my career of spending a semester overseas?
The potential advantages of studying abroad involve both professional and personal factors. Professionally, in an increasingly international business, political, and educational climate, American university graduates who have experience living abroad will be in high demand as the U. S. strives to maintain its leadership position in world commerce and international relations. Graduates in all fields who have this sort of experience will be more competitive in the professional marketplace than those who do not. On a personal level, living and studying in a culture different from our own both broadens our intellectual horizons and helps us understand and appreciate more fully the society we grew up in. This experience also deepens our self-knowledge and augments our own psychological resources.
