Pioneers are encouraged to study abroad

• November 28, 2011 5:10am

Only 1% of American students enrolled in college study overseas. In a new YouTube video, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is urging more to think about going international. "To remain the leader in this ever-changing world, we have to push ourselves not just to think globally, but to get out there and study globally as well," Clinton says in the video.

Imagine studying business in Korea, history in Spain, or biochemistry in Sweden?! The Center for International Education at Cal State East Bay offers programs that allow students to study abroad in another country or in another part of the US.

Pioneers can choose to go overseas for one semester or for an academic year while gaining academic credit towards their degree at an affordable price. Students can study a variety of majors in a number of different countries.    Many students go overseas to learn about another country, culture, and people.  Few return unchanged.

Financial aid and residential credit applies to many of the programs.  Learn more about the study abroad program by attending an information session in LI 2750 on either Wednesday, November 30 at 10:00am or on Friday, December 2 at 1:00pm.

For more information, call the Center for International Education at 510-885-2880, visit their office at LI 2550 or check out their Web site.

Application deadlines start hitting on December 15 so don't wait!
