Anthropology is by definition multi-cultural and international. In the university setting, professors and their students explore when, why, and how distinct cultural perspectives and practices interact. In the business world, both employers and employees must deal with the realities of an increasingly interconnected and global economy. Also, public health, economic development, and resource conservation programs administered by NGOs or at various levels of government are far more likely to succeed if input from local people is incorporated into the planning and implementation.
Taking courses abroad will give you real-world access to a variety of cosmopolitan issues and cross-cultural experiences. The skills you will develop while abroad will help you in your current coursework and research. They will also look great on resumes and applications to law schools, graduate schools, and schools of public health.
