Wherever you go, our fundamental life needs are the same.
That’s why our work knows no geographical boundaries. As a student here, you’ll have the opportunity to travel any number of places. In fact, we award a number of study-abroad scholarships to ensure more students have an international experience each year. Study-abroad opportunities have taken our students to destinations such as England, Greece, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and China.
