Proposal would change graduation requirements Students may soon need international experience to graduate A proposal made to the Board of Regents would require every student to be exposed to an international environment before they could graduate. By Danny Luppino (Contact) Thursday, September 28, 2006 A Kansas Board of Regents proposal could require all KU students to study abroad before graduation. Chairman Nelson Galle proposed the requirement in July. It would require all students at four-year institutions in Kansas to have some sort of international experience. KU administrators, including Provost Richard Lariviere, have responded positively. If I absolutely had to go to get a degree, I would, but I don?t think it?s necessary for my career intentions. -Jamie Webb, Manhattan freshman ?I think it?s a wonderful idea,? Lariviere said. ?Studying abroad is one of the most important components of an undergraduate education, particularly in the current world in which students will be starting their careers.? He said one of the goals of the University was to expose students to new environments and new situations. ?Nothing does this quicker than studying abroad,? Lariviere said. Lariviere said administrators had not yet discussed how they would implement the proposed plan. Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco, director of study abroad, said the biggest obstacle in achieving Galle?s goal would be the cost of studying abroad. ?Most students I talk to want to study abroad,? Gronbeck-Tedesco said. ?It?s just a matter of being able to afford it.? Some students agreed the cost barriers were the main deterrent to studying abroad. ?If they somehow helped financially, I think it?s a good idea,? said Jeremy Terrell, Rose Hill junior. Currently, 23.5 percent of KU students study abroad, placing the University 11th among public research universities in study-abroad participation. Gronbeck-Tedesco said her office was not working to implement the plan. She said she thought the University would stop short of requiring all students to study abroad, but that a good goal would be to make it financially possible for all students to study abroad. She said she feared students might resist studying abroad because of a ?common myth? that it makes it harder to graduate in four years. According to figures from the Office of Study Abroad, 45 percent of students with study abroad experience graduate in four years, compared to 26 percent of students who have not studied abroad. ?I think it should be the people?s decision whether they want to go abroad or not,? Jamie Webb, Manhattan freshman, said. ?If I absolutely had to go to get a degree, I would, but I don?t think it?s necessary for my career intentions.?
