| The communications field is one of the most rewarding career choices a young person can make. Companies large and small, local and multi-national, non-profit and corporate alike all need  talented people to plan, write, promote, produce and execute strategies to reach their target audiences. Yet the field is also one of the hardest to break into for a recent college graduate. A four-year degree may not be enough to get your foot into the door.
That’s why studying abroad is one of the very best ways you can give yourself a leg up to get into this field. More than any time in the past, employers are seeking candidates with a global viewpoint, international experience and understanding of other cultures.
Whether you choose a semester or year abroad, undertake an internship, pursue a graduate degree or even take a summer short course, you’ll not only give yourself a significant advantage career-wise, but you will also have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s never more in reach than during your college years.

“While studying abroad I got great hands-on experiences in broadcasting and producing. This will give me a step up in the working world and something amazing to add to my resume. It also taught me to be more confident on my own. I feel now as if I could do and be anything in the world if I set my mind to it.”
L. Lucarz, University of Wisconsin - Whitewater
