Why we do it

We are proud to provide our students and faculty hundreds of international study, research, internship and service opportunities in nearly every corner of the world.

In a constantly changing and globalized world, there is an urgent and ongoing need for experts and effective cross-cultural communicators. Our goal is to empower the next generation of master learners and enrich partnerships and leaders to face the complex social, political, economic and environmental global challenges of the future.

The greatest challenges facing the world today – such as climate change or border-crossing epidemics – are complex in nature, requiring expertise from the sciences, engineering, policy, law, social sciences and humanities.
