"Studying abroad offers students the competitive advantages and cross-cultural competence that open up a wealth ofimmediate personal and long-term professional opportunities. It can have a powerful impact on a young adult’s life; most who’ve done so say it changed theirlives. Yet only 10 percent ofthe approximately 2.6 million students who graduate with an associates or baccalaureate degree each year study abroad, which means relatively few are truly prepared to compete on a global scale. Our children depend on us to support and encourage them as they prepare to enter the workforce. If you want your child to succeed in today’s competitive job market, do everything you can to help them study abroad and acquire international experience." A Parent Guide to Study Abroad, IIE
