Current Articulation Topics in Discussion by the Articulation Team:

1. Funding for Low-Income and Minority Students to attend Study Abroad Semesters

According to the Commission on the Abraham Lincoln Study Abroad Fellowship Program

• Living in a foreign country helps students better understand other cultures as well as their own.

• Studying abroad improves foreign language skills.

• Study abroad accelerates skill building and strengthens strategic relationships.

• Studying abroad opens the door to new career options.

• Recent federal reports cite a language and cultural skill shortage in more than 70 agencies critical to national security, public diplomacy and economic competitiveness.

• It is important to prepare our undergraduates to live and work in a global society and study abroad is one of the ways in which this can be accomplished

also,

• Nearly two-thirds (65.6%) of those who study abroad are female and one-third (34.4%) is male, while the total undergraduate population is 56.4% female and 43.6% male.

• Only 3.4% of those who study abroad are black and 5.0% are Hispanic, while each group accounts for about 12% of the total U.S. undergraduate population.

• A disproportionately high number of humanities majors (14.6% of total undergraduates) comprise 30.2% of all students who study abroad, while engineering/computer science majors, who represent 14.1% of total undergraduates, enroll only 5.3% in overseas programs.

CCBC is dedicated to find the means for the undeserved above populations to have this opportunity to change, not only their own lives, but society as a whole. If you have any information or suggestions on this topic please email them.
