There are numerous online resources available for students interested in global citizenship and international opportunities.
Studying abroad is an important part of life at Drake University. Our institution’s mission is to provide an exceptional learning environment that prepares students for meaningful personal lives, professional accomplishments, and responsible global citizenship. One of the ways we achieve that is by expanding the boundaries of your classroom.
If you're looking to live and work internationally following graduation, look no further than Working Worldwide! With placements in either China or Kosovo, you can gain the valuable professional and personal skills to succeed in today’s interconnected world.
This is a massive collection of information on international careers, internships, graduate programs, study abroad, etc. Drake subscribes to this service on an annual basis, which makes it possible for our faculty, staff and students to access the site without additional charge.
