8. Nationally, the number of U.S. students studying abroad
for credit during the 2016-2017 academic year grew 2.3
percent from 325,339 students to 332,727 students. This
represents about 1.6 percent of all U.S. students enrolled
at institutions of higher education in the United States
and about 10 percent of U.S. graduates.
A recent survey found that almost 40% of companies
surveyed missed international business opportunities
because of a lack of internationally competent personnel.
When 95% of consumers live outside of the United States,
we cannot afford to ignore this essential aspect of higher
education.

11. Developing
Global
Leaders
 Increasing demand for “soft skills,”
“emotional intelligence,” “authenticity”
for C-level positions
 “cultural empathy” ranks at the top
 Cultural empathy requires a degree of
egolessness, because you have to
surrender the notion that your country,
or language, or point of view is best.
 Exposure to more than one language
 Only 19.7 percent of Americans surveyed
speak a language other than English in
their households… compared Europe at
56% and 28% speak two foreign
languages.
