Eager to learn about different countries and cultures and acquire global skills, U. S. students are studying abroad in record numbers, according to survey data released by the Open Doors, an institution of international education.[26]These increased numbers reflect a growing recognition by students and educators that an international experience is important to students’ future careers. Today language and cultural skills are increasingly valued by employers and vital to America’s national interest. The recent growth has been fueled in part by programs that offer study for shorter lengths of time than the traditional academic year. But there has also been an increasing interest in studying in more diverse destinations. The increases reported in Open Doors reflect a growing interest in non-traditional destinations and a wider range of study-abroad opportunities in addition to the extremely valuable semester and academic year programs. While brief stay and short-term programs expand the numbers of Americans studying abroad,[27]longer programs abroad provide better opportunities for language acquisition and deeper immersion in the culture. The top three major fields of study of Americans studying abroad, according to Open Doors, are the social sciences, business and management, and humanities. A wide range of successful activities sponsored by the U. S. Department of State help U. S. students to gain access to a substantive international experience. However, despite the steadily rising numbers, the vast majority of U. S. students still graduate without any study abroad experience.[28]Dr. Goodman noted that "The opportunity for more young Americans to study abroad is a goal shared by the President, the Secretary of State, and leaders in Congress, industry and academia."
