Gain a global outlook
Participation on any study abroad program fulfills the Global Knowledge co-requisite degree requirement for NC State students. NC State has identified global competency as a necessary component to its university education. In a survey of study abroad alumni conducted by the Institute for the International Education of Students (IES) of over 3,400 respondents, 95% stated that study abroad had a lasting impact on their world view.
Diversify your experience and education
Studying marine science at the Great Barrier Reef, architecture in Europe, or environmental sciences in the Amazon rainforest provides new meaning to the typical classroom experience not possible on campus at NC State. On average, approximately 20% of NC State undergraduate students and 13% of undergraduates nationwide study abroad. Distinguish yourself from your peers by developing skills and engaging in a unique learning environment overseas!
Personal growth
When you're abroad, every new experience can be a challenge and an adventure! Take a risk by leaving your home and you will be better prepared to face challenges in the future. By stepping outside of your comfort zone, you'll develop problem solving skills and discover you can handle the unexpected. Study abroad is a transformative experience that fosters personal growth along with increased intellectual development.
Get ahead with prospective employers
Through study abroad, you can gain international experience and skills such as intercultural sensitivity, the ability to deal with ambiguity, and adaptation to new surroundings--all highly valued by employers. Abroad, you can learn to relate with people from different backgrounds, an important ability in the workplace. According to the IES survey, their study abroad alumni earn on average $7,000 more in starting salary compared to the general population of U.S. college graduates.
