We are not just in Kansas anymore. The economy is global, and so is a University of Kansas education. We strive to give every student an international learning experience, here or over there. One-fifth of all seniors study overseas, and KU is one of five Simon Award winners for campus internationalization. There's no place like Italy (or China, Morocco or Latin America) for a summer or a semester.
