Opportunities for California College and University Students

International study enables students to prepare for careers in a global, knowledge-based economy. It provides learning in languages, cultures, pedagogies, and skills for citizens of a State whose economy is highly dependent on international trade and commerce. Recent research shows a positive correlation between study abroad and academic success (shorter time to graduation) as well as enhancing career and professional development opportunities.

California ’s two- and four-year colleges and universities, both public and independent, offer outstanding opportunities for study abroad.
