Faculty-Led Education Abroad Program Deadlines Approaching

Are you thinking about what classes you want to take next semester? Have you thought about how your major works on a global perspective?

In our increasingly connected world, more employers are searching for applicants with intercultural skills, adaptability, and the ability to work well with others. An Institute for International Education (IIE) study shows that education abroad leads to significant gains in 11 of 15 critical 21st century workplace skills. The University of Nebraska at Omaha Education Abroad Office prides itself in making international experiences accessible for students through 20+ faculty led programs through ten schools/colleges. This ensures our graduates are ahead of the pack, no matter what field they’re in. Expand your employability through any of the faculty programs below:
