North American colleges and universities and continues to
make study in France available to students who recognize the
life-long value of living in and exploring a culture other
than their own. Its purpose is to provide American students
with programs of intellectual substance and international
focus in a fertile foreign setting for one or, better, two
semesters of academic work. Despite its vastness, the
United States is a fairly homogenous country, and as a
result Americans have always understood the advantages of
study abroad. Today, because America can no longer claim
global political and economic dominance, experience tempered
by the perspectives of another country is an even better
idea. As nations around the world become increasingly
interdependent, every profession and occupation will
inevitably have an international dimension. Those who have
lived and studied abroad will find their intercultural
knowledge and understanding essential as they become
decision makers and develop their careers. Any student open
to learning and willing to grow may return home
intellectually transformed, or at least changed in
unexpected and welcome ways.
