Kentucky Universities Encourage Overseas Study
KENTUCKY....
Some of Kentucky's public universities are encouraging their students to study abroad. The state's private liberal-arts institutions have traditionally led the way in sending students overseas to learn. For instance, 85 percent of the students at Centre College study overseas. Several of Kentucky's public universities' officials say it makes them more competitive in a global economy. The University of Louisville saw the number of its students studying overseas jump nearly 60 percent in 2009-10, while officials hope to see that number rise to 1,500 by 2020.
