Did you know that Study Abroad is a great resume-builder? It sets you apart from your job-seeking peers who have not participated in an international experience. By studying
abroad, you can enhance your Mason experience and gain valuable skills that can benefit you
various ways:
-
Learn how to adapt to new situations and evaluate “old” habits.
-
Develop an understanding for different cultures.
You may even find similarities! -
Learn how to tolerate ambiguity:
the willingness to accept alternative views. -
Become more self-confident.
-
Gain proficiency in a foreign language.
Being able to adapt to a new place, connect with different cultures, and grow both personally and professionally will equip you with the tools to boost your chances in
the ever competitive job market.
Still unsure if study abroad is for you? You may have heard of too many obstacles: cost
and funding, timing, and the often cited claim that it is a vacation in disguise.
Check your facts! Scholarships can be applied and programs are financial aid eligible. Being an undergraduate provides a unique opportunity to consider spending time abroad and earn credit.
