Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity and providing the financial resources to make it possible.
大学也在鼓励学生本科期间到其他国家接受部分教育。在欧洲,每年有超过14万学生参与Erasmus项目,到参与该项目的2,200所欧洲高校选修一些学分课程。而在美国,学校正在帮助学生利用暑假到国外实习,以便将来从事全球性职业。耶鲁和哈佛大学已经做出了表率,给每一位大学生提供至少一次国际学习或实习机会,并提供助学资金使其得以实现。
