Global Perspective
With a rapidly changing global society, the University of Pittsburgh at
Greensburg (Pitt-Greensburg) has made a commitment to helping students gain an
international experience as part of their undergraduate education. Students who
take advantage of the study abroad experiences at Pitt-Greensburg will immerse
themselves in another culture; learning things they could never learn in a
traditional classroom setting. Additionally, when students are taken out of
their comfort zones the opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth is
unmatched. Pitt-Greensburg students with an international experience will
become global citizens in today's society. These same students find that their
international experiences give them an edge in the job market and a greater
understanding of the larger world around them.
"I had a great experience because it was my very first time traveling abroad and
the school made it so easy. It was a formative experience that I'll never
forget."
Julie Loffredo - Madrid - 2007
"My experiences on this trip allowed me to gain a new perspective of the world.
The culture of Spain has always interested me and to experience it first hand
was one I will never forget. Knowing some Spanish from before I went on this
trip was an immense help to me. I enjoyed bonding with people who I never
thought I would because of this trip. It's nice to see some of them now when
we're back at school and have that shared experience in common. This trip was
great for opening up my interest in more international travel."
Elizabeth Simpson - Madrid 2007
