The opportunities for expanding global knowledge at the University of North Georgia (UNG) continue to grow as new programs are added. During the 2015-16 academic year, some 380 UNG students participated in study abroad and international internships, a number that has steadily increased over the past four years.

Timothy McDaniel of Lexington, Kentucky, participated in an internship at NATO Defense College in Rome, Italy during fall 2016. McDaniel is a senior majoring in Modern Languages/Arabic .

UNG sends more than 300 students each year all across the world. Studying abroad is a great way to obtain personal and intellectual growth, career inspiration, work experience, language acquisition, and intercultural understanding. Study abroad changes lives, and preparing students to be leaders in a global society is part of UNG's mission.

UNG celebrated its international programs and partnerships with various events Nov. 7-18 in recognition of International Education Week, an initiative by the U.S. Department of State and Department of Education to promote programs that prepare Americans for a global environment.
