International Education

International education prepares students to work in a multi-cultural and multi-national environment and where geographical boundaries have very little meaning. To accomplish these aims the university encourages diversity in our classrooms, opportunities for Canadian students to learn and work abroad, and programs of study that include language, culture and regional studies. In our classrooms we help students develop resiliency skills, intercultural competence, and a global perspective.
