This experience is one of Delaware's unique and special features. Someone who has been involved with an experience that takes them out of their narrow world of existence, inevitably, is more tolerant and realizes there's more than one right way of living. This may sound trite, but it broadens their horizons. The overseas programs, according to McNabb, aid in forming better international relations. The experience of studying in a different country also may help students in finding jobs after graduation.
Overseas experience does make a student more marketable.
McNabb sings the praises of going abroad because he spent much of his academic career in other countries. As a high school student, he studied for a year in Gottingen, Germany. While an undergraduate at Delaware, he spent one year at the University of Wurzburg in Germany and took summer classes in Florence, Italy. Current students echo McNabb's sentiments about international study. Annie Whitescarver, a senior in business and economics, went to London for the last spring semester.
