Global Education Office

The goal of the Global Education Office is to help students prepare for the challenges of international citizenship in the 21st century by enabling them to gain a deep understanding of at least one other culture and its language and to incorporate a global, comparative dimension in their chosen field of study.

These programs have been conceived as an integral part of a Vanderbilt undergraduate education. Students remain fully enrolled at Vanderbilt, earn Vanderbilt credit, fulfilling major, minor, and distribution requirements, receive Vanderbilt financial aid and scholarships, and benefit from the involvement of the faculty and staff at Vanderbilt before, during, and after their time abroad. Competition for admission to most programs is keen, and preference is given to the most qualified applicants. Students must demonstrate high academic performance, clearly reasoned academic purpose, appropriate preparation, and conduct that demonstrates genuine enthusiasm for learning about that which is different.
