Graduate student programs are tailored to provide hands-on experience within a particular field of study. Several graduate programs, within the School of Leadership and Educational Sciences (SOLES) and the School of Business, require an international experience for degree completion. However, all graduate programs give options for a multicultural experiential learning experience.
