I n today's global economy, professionals are equally likely to conduct business with peers in Brussels as in New York. Transactions from one side of the globe to the other are a standard way of doing business. It means that they cannot rely on a narrow, discipline-based education. That is why the University of Evansville maintains a strong international component in both academic and extracurricular activities. But our commitment to a global perspective goes far beyond studying abroad.
International students enrich the campus and help teach our students about other cultures.
In the past year, UE has sponsored a business seminar for students from Northern Ireland, hosted Japanese students for an intensive English program and partnered with our local Junior Achievement organization to arrange an exchange program with Argentinean students to experience and learn international trade. The World Cultures curriculum provides an overview of different cultures through history - from the Old Testament to the Baghavad Gita. The program encourages students to think more deeply about why different cultures believe different things - which is what college is all about. In short, UE students are making important contributions to their community, society and their fields long before they graduate from college.
