Why International Studies?
"There is a consensus today, much like the one about science and math
studies after the launch of Sputnik 50 years ago, that globally fluent
graduates are essential to American competitiveness. International
exposure, whether study, volunteer work or internship, has become a
must-have credential. With the new demand — the number studying abroad
is twice that of eight years ago — what was once an add-on has become
big business. About 6,000 programs send students to more than 100
countries."
New York Times, Sunday,
Nov. 4, 2007
"When
you serve others abroad, you’re serving our country, too. You’re showing
the world the true face of America –- our generosity, our strength, the
enduring power of our ideals, the infinite reservoir of our hope. And
yes, serving abroad will make you stronger, more competitive, a more
valuable asset for a career in the public or private sectors. Just talk
to any of your colleagues who have spent some time abroad. And one of
the first things they’ll tell you, for example, is that you’ll never
learn a language or develop self-reliance as quickly as you will when
you’re on your own in a foreign country!"
-Michelle Obama
