What are the types of study abroad programs at Rollins?
“International Experience has become one of the most important
components of a 21st century education.”1
Today’s professional world
is increasingly influenced by cultures and countries from around the
globe. The Intercultural knowledge and competencies gained through
study abroad are perhaps more valuable now than they ever have been.
Such skills are increasingly important for not only succeeding in a job,
but also for even getting an interview.
