Skills Technical Skills Business Experience Study Abroad has the unique ability to prepare students in 5 of the 8 trait categories in one year. No other academic experience can do that. All of our exchange partnerships are swap arrangements. Study Abroad does much to develop the self-knowledge that leads to a personality type suited to negotiations in a global environment and to an understanding that too much concentration on differences between groups can obscure our real similarities.
Business now exists in a global environment.
There are few, if any, industries that are not faced with the need to do business internationally. They have competition from foreign companies, both by way of imports and by those companies establishing facilities in the United States. They often must expand into foreign markets because their growth in domestic markets has stagnated. They must purchase parts from foreign producers to remain competitive. Some will produce products in the U.S. for sale in the U.S. and in foreign markets.
