Regents aim for universal international study for Kansas grads
Kansas Regents chairman Nelson Galle proposes requiring an international education experience for all traditional four year university graduates. The plan envisions study abroad ranging from short London programs to two semester Paris stints to broaden cultural and global understanding. Currently 23.5 percent of Kansas University undergrads study abroad, and costs include program and administration. While ambitious, the goal may take time and funding to implement, but is deemed worth pursuing.
