The Benefits of Study Abroad for Students 

• Earning credit toward their Georgia State University degree while studying abroad. 
• Experiencing what they are studying in the real world. Students may learn about the operations of a multi-national corporation in London, or the effects of public health initiatives on Ghana’s economy and social structure. 
• Building their resume to have a competitive edge within the job market. Employers in our global economy seek skills polished by overseas engagement – such as cultural awareness, teamwork, innovation, and flexibility. 
• Acquiring or improving foreign language skills. Complete language and cultural immersion is considered the best way to learn a language. 
• Gaining a better understanding of themselves, their own nation, and the world. This is an adventure that will broaden their horizons and create increased independence, confidence, and maturity. 
• Students that go abroad return exhilarated by the experience. They bring fresh perspectives to the classroom and are more confident about living in today’s world.
