Why Study Abroad?

Studying abroad is a great opportunity to expand your knowledge, and have a ton of fun while at it.
Adventure Time. Studying abroad is, in its simplest form, a great adventure. Far beyond the academics which it entails, this is your chance to learn a lot about the world at large, and where you fit into it.
Networking Opportunity. Studying abroad gives you the chance to meet peers and mentors in your field from all over the world. Not only will you form valuable connections for the future, but you will form friendships which last long beyond the return home.
Broaden Your Field. South Korea and its culture cheer on different sports, giving you the opportunity to expand your field of knowledge about the sport industry in general. The larger the sample size, the deeper your insight into the global sport industry and general business.
