Global Education
The Office of Global Education provides learning opportunities for students, faculty and staff to deepen their understanding of global issues and to foster cross-cultural perspectives. In addition, the office supports innovative faculty projects, study abroad programs, and outreach activities. We believe that international exchanges nurture global perspectives and play a key role in developing our local community. We invite you to explore the information on our web page.

STUDY ABROAD It’s never too late for study abroad!!!
Although our Spring/Summer Short-Term Programs for 2010 are now closed. To view where your fellow students are heading this May, Click HERE to see what trips made for our 2010 Spring/Summer Short-Term Program season.
But.... it's not too late to consider longer term study abroad trips. These study abroad experiences are typically 1 - 2 semesters.
The benefits of participating in a study abroad trip include the following: the opportunity to learn more about your own culture from a different perspective and develop a firsthand understanding of other cultures, people and places; form friendships that will last a lifetime; increase self-confidence and to demonstrate to prospective employers that you are internationally aware --- it looks great on a résumé.
