Major: Communication
Study Abroad: Cannes, France - Fall 2005
I think of the world as a much more connected place than I did before studying abroad. Whether I am in the classroom or writing an essay, I am constantly drawing upon my experiences from life abroad. For me, Oliver Wendell Holmes best summarizes my experience in France and the values I've gained from it. He said, "A mind stretched by a new idea can never go back to its original dimension."
In keeping with the goals of a liberal education, the colleges’ international programs allow students to explore diverse manifestations of the human condition and to examine fundamental recurring questions about themselves and the world. The emphasis is upon a disciplined and focused curriculum which is designed to take full advantage of local, regional and national opportunities at each site. Courses taught abroad are integrated fully into the core curriculum and/or departmental offerings. Each program includes a required pre-departure orientation with the program director.
