Background: In an era of globalization, study abroad is no longer optional. International experience and language skills are increasingly valuable to employers in today’s global economy. In response, students are studying abroad in growing numbers. During the past decade, the number of U.S. students studying abroad each year has more than doubled. The University of Texas at Austin is among the top three universities sending students abroad and the Top 10 universities educating international students, according to the new “Open Doors” report, published by the Institute of International Education.
