★ Why Study Abroad?
Studying abroad can be the experience of a lifetime! Not only will you have the opportunity to learn academic works through different perspectives, but through exchange programs you can also learn culturally enriching knowledge about places, customs, and people from around the world. And did I mention, “It looks great on your resume!” The cultural specific knowledge you obtain while living in another country and just the sheer fact that you will be able to demonstrate your ability to handle greater responsibilities are qualities highly sought after by employers.
Studying abroad doesn't slow you down from graduating either. The credits you earn while abroad count towards your KNU degree, and because our program is a “reciprocal” one, meaning you go to a sister school at the same time a student from the sister school comes to KNU, the costs to you for those credit hours stay about the same. So why not enjoy broaden your academic and cultural horizons, while making yourself a more competitive job candidate upon graduation.
Here's a summary of just some of reasons to study abroad:
- Learn course materials taught from different perspectives
- Broaden your cultural perspectives on the world
- Become a more competitive job candidate upon graduation
- Accelerate your personal growth and development
- Increase your level of cultural awareness
- Improve your self-confidence
- HAVE A GOOD TIME… IT'S FUN!
