OBU Study Abroad Program
The Study Abroad Program champions the OBU Mission Statement which says " As a Christian liberal arts university, OBU transforms lives by equipping students to pursue academic excellence, integrate faith with all areas of knowledge, engage a diverse world, and live worthy of the high calling of God in Christ." There is no better way to accomplish each element of the OBU Mission Statement at the undergraduate level than to study abroad.
The importance of travel and study abroad is widely recognized, and recent studies indicate employers look for graduates who have international study experience. Statistically, graduates who have traveled internationally and studied abroad possess a broader perspective, a sense of direction and greater flexibility than those who have not.
In addition to enhancing career opportunities, studying abroad contributes to personal growth enabling students to develop intellectually, absorb varying cultures and adapt to international differences.
