Go Abroad and Build Your Skills
It’s more than a vacation.
There is no doubt that studying abroad is a life-changing experience. In and out of the classroom you are exposed to learning opportunities that will help you grow both academically and personally.
While abroad, you can build skills and gain cultural knowledge that prepares you to work in today's global, multicultural workplaces. With study, intern, research and service-learning programs available on every continent, Tommies from every major can go abroad.
Prepare for the future
It’s Good for Your Career
Workplaces of the future are multicultural and global. Prepare yourself to work with any team in any industry by studying abroad and adapting to new customs, languages, rituals, foods, faiths and more. You’ll become more agile and learn to deal with new situations respectfully and confidently.
Going abroad will push you to use new skills and get better at others. You learn to solve problems, be a leader, communicate, adapt, work as a team, and take initiative... and that’s just the beginning! What’s more – those are all skills employers and graduate schools will look for in your application!
In the United States, only about 10% of students will study abroad. An international experience will set you apart and prepare you for success in job and internship searches or graduate school applications. The skills you gain while abroad will look great on your resume. And they’ll sound even better in an interview!
