About

Mission

Our mission is to offer impactful international experiences in education, work, and service that are accessible to all students, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances. We broaden their global outlook and assist in their growth, both personally and professionally, while nurturing their ethical responsibilities in an increasingly demanding world.  

Vision

We aim to provide academically rigorous international programs that inspire all of our students to understand the humanity behind global and local challenges and the impact of their contributions. Our goal is to develop the next generation of socially conscious and culturally aware advocates, leaders, scholars, and engineers who understand not just what to build, but why.
