Why go global?

MIT educates innovators and leaders who influence the world; a complete MIT education includes hands-on international experiences that help to prepare MIT students for informed participation as global citizens and leaders. We at MIT feel that it is imperative that every MIT undergraduate understand the global context in which their future lives and careers will unfold. Students must also be comfortable working and living in settings in which they must adapt to differing values, traditions, assumptions, attitudes, and norms that will arise from cross-cultural contact within a new global economy.

The Global Education Office is here to help students achieve such goals and also is a new organization for students to increase personal, academic and work skills sets to realize their career goals. If you are interested in learning more about the various opportunities to "go global" please make an appointment with the Global Education Office. Appointments can be made by either visiting the office (12-189) or sending an email to globalmit@mit.edu.
