McFarlane is a junior double-majoring in finance and accounting with a minor in Chinese. She began to study Chinese during high school and developed an affinity for the language and culture that will be beneficial in her career, she said.
About 550 U.S. undergraduate and graduate students from across the nation received CLS grants for 2014 from the U.S. Department of State. The participants spend seven to 10 weeks abroad and are provided group-based intensive language instruction and cultural enrichment experiences.
CU-Boulder s Office of International Education (OIE) has added and expanded offerings since 2012 including programs in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, Nepal, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Our students have a strong interest in diving deep into the cultures they visit, said Larry Bell, executive director of OIE. Knowing the language well is one of the most important tools for that to be a positive experience. They know a significant international experience enhances job opportunities after graduation.
