The Dean Rusk International Studies Program embodies 小优视频's belief that knowledge of other cultures and of the social, economic, political, and scientific forces that shape our world are integral to a liberal arts education.

Serving as the organizing mechanism for expanding internationalism across the 小优视频 experience, we encourage students to pursue an international curriculum through the many opportunities that are available with the Dean Rusk International Studies Program. Summer and winter grants, lectures, music and dance performances, and art exhibits are just some of the many ways you can internationalize your education at 小优视频.

Remain open-minded. You go abroad to experience the culture, so do not close yourself off before trying something at least once.

I learned a new kind of patience and flexibility, one that academic work in a classroom never could have taught me.
