火博体育对全球教育的承诺

At 火博体育大学, global education is essential to a student’s academic career. We view global education holistically, providing a variety of curricular and extra-curricular opportunities for students, with off-campus study serving as the central component. 学生 that study off-campus benefit from access to diverse course offerings and expanded internship, research and community involvement opportunities; they also engage in substantive ways with different cultures, gain new perspectives, and acquire important 生活技能. 在个人层面上,许多在校外学习的学生报告说 that it is a transformative experience that helps them develop greater independence, 适应能力,以及更广泛和创造性思考的能力. 这些都是特征 that prove invaluable as our students navigate today’s complex, interconnected world.

Given the incredible benefits of off-campus study, Skidmore is committed to providing 对所有学生开放. 为此,校外学习与交流办公室 (OCSE) has developed a portfolio of domestic and international off-campus programs, representing a wide variety of disciplinary and geographic options, all of which have been endorsed by Skidmore’s academic departments and have been deemed to enhance the 校园课程. 因此,校外学习是一种综合教育 experience available to all students regardless of major or academic area of interest.
