Why Global Learning is Important

Select Travel Study is proud to be a commitment partner of the Institute of International Education's Generation Study Abroad initiative to help more Americans to gain international experience through study abroad programs. Globalization is changing the way the world works and employers are increasingly looking for workers who have international skills and experience, so an International experience is one of the most important component of a 21st century education.

We Value Academic Integrity

We value academic integrity in Study Abroad and work closely with Office of Study Abroad and Centers for Global Engagement to ensure best practices.

We are dedicated to providing resources and support to educators to help expand global learning for all students by facilitating faculty-led curriculum based programs.

Literacy in the modern sense stretches far beyond basic competencies.  Today's workforce must posess high level skills of comprehension, numeracy, digital literacy, critical thinking and problem solving.  An ability to show cultural and emotional literacy is increasingly valued today.

Literate Workforce

DEDICATED

DIVERSE

We are committed to promoting easier access to meaningful academic study abroad opportunities, and to a more diverse range of candidates.

GLOBAL MARKETPLACE

We believe this will not be accomplished by trivializing study abroad, but rather by celebrating it and by ensuring academic integrity, the acquisition of intercultural competence and professional skills for the global marketplace are a key part of the international learning experience.

"This was our first year to use Select Travel of our Healthcare Study Abroad program. What I had heard about the company proved to be correct. They were very professional, easy to deal with, accommodating, creative and executed the trip without problems. We were very pleased with every aspect of the experience. I would highly recommend Select Travel.”
