The 21st century is YOUR world. And as former President Bill Clinton pointed out while addressing a college audience in California, "The fundamental nature of the 21st century world is interdependence... integrated communities, locally, nationally and globally."

Interdependence = connectedness, but not only in being wired together. The destiny of the 21st century interdependent world rests in the hands of individuals in all countries who are able to feel a connectedness to unknown people and places around the globe, individuals who can step over the psychological demarcation wall separating the "us" and the "them."

Venturing outside the great expanse of the U.S. and its cultural bubble to study in another country while a student at Saint Louis University can initiate you into this circle of internationally related people. Saint Louis University ushers you into the 21st century of interdependence by offering more than 30 programs of education abroad. Moreover, no matter what your field of study, the Modern and Classical Languages Department offers you a pre-departure, cross-cultural preparation course before going and a re-entry course upon returning.

Experience the rush, mitigate the fear and, if well prepared, feel the embrace of another culture and language by studying abroad. Get more globally connected.
