The importance for students to have international experience:

"As globalization grows increasingly important in today’s business world, it is essential that students have international experience. Basically, international experience provides students with a better understanding of what is really happening in other countries and cultures. It also opens doors to actively explore and discover a broader perspective of the world while offering a deeper understanding of who we are and where we belong within that world. The universal diversity of competitors and important growth of international experiences forces us to think beyond barriers, to expose ourselves to other cultures, and to speak two or more languages. Studying abroad is an effective method of unlocking the door to the world and helping us succeed in our future professional and personal careers."
