To prepare North American students to be leaders in an increasingly interconnected world. We aim to build competence - anyone attending college today will collaborate or compete with people and companies from around the world over the course of his or her career. It is difficult for someone to be effective in this global environment without some intercultural competencies and an awareness of current international issues. Lastly, we specifically aim to maintain affordable study abroad options within our network of programs.
