Why is it that each year more than a quarter of a million American students decide to continue their education abroad?


In an increasingly globalizing world where mobility and rapidly changing and advancing communication networks have blurred traditional linguistic boundaries, it has become a necessity for many individuals to have the ability to communicate in more than one language. Astute individuals are increasingly responding to this need through extensive networking with others from all around the globe.


This global integration affects trade, finance, technology, communications and, moreover, education. According to the World Bank, exports account for almost 30% of the world's economic production. Employers from the largest multinational corporations along with the smallest local businesses appreciate the value of international experience and the acute understanding of cultural nuances that are a crucial part of any organization in today's ever globalizing market.


Studying abroad will enhance your ability and willingness to adapt to new environments; it will give you the self-confidence to make decisions in risky situations; it will improve your ability to take on new projects; and, it will help your understanding of diverse cultures. As a result of this, you will come back home with a new sense of being more mature, both personally and intellectually with a deeper understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses. These newfound skills will provide you with the confidence to be increasingly more independent and assertive.


Those who desire to be leaders in their professional careers will need to recognize the value of these skills and seek them out by increasing their education through a broader international experience. Being aware of the changes that are happening around you and adapting to those changes is what will provide you the edge you need in our global society.


Although any international experience would be a valuable addition to your resume, there are some that may hold more value than others. The Spanish language has established itself as one of the most spoken languages in business, second only to English. Understanding your interlocutor can make the difference between sealing the deal and losing it to your Spanish speaking competitors. Leaving home to enjoy a year, semester, or month studying in Spain will give you the opportunity to see, feel and be a true part of one of the most ancient, exciting and passionate civilizations. Whether you've been exposed to the formal study of the Spanish language or not, you will return with a new perspective and a deeper understanding of this language having experienced it in a unique and personal way.


There are many ways to experience the world. A study abroad program, without a doubt, will be an eye opener. You will live and visit places you have only read about in books or seen in movies. You will make friends from all over the world that will remain friends forever. Some of these friends will even help you in your future job and you will become a free citizen of the world.
