Study Abroad

There are many benefits to studying abroad. Here at the University of Indianapolis we have a huge Study Abroad Program which is ran by Dr. Julie Kiefer. Studying abroad helps you learn more about yourself and develops cross-cultural skills. While over seas, students will take classes that will earn credits to your degree. Studying abroad can get expensive, but there are many scholarships you can apply for. Every student should take this program into consideration.

Here are a few articles/videaos I found with the benefits of studying abroad:

This is a video about multiple students who have traveled all over the world to study. They tell you about where they went, how their experience went, and all the benefits of studying abroad.

This article gives an idea about the conditions in which students endure. It talks about what it’s like to study abroad and the benefits. It investigates how this experience effects your career and relationships.

This is a controlled study in which employees are examined during the first and second years working abroad. They are testing the psychophysiological reactions and how the international adjustment affects the physically and mentally. The subjects completed a questionnaire before moving, after the 1styear, and after the 2ndyear. During their years overseas, the employees experienced an increase in stress and negative adjustments. They all had high levels of testosterone and prolactin. They also had a worse mental well-being (Anderzen).
