HOUGHTON, MI (02/06/2013)(readMedia)-- Judy Isaacson, an accounting student at Michigan Technological University from Mohawk, is currently studying at London Metropolitan University. She is also a recipient of the Presidential Distinction Scholarship.
Of her visit so far, Isaacson says, "My experience in England so far has been incredible! I have enjoyed meeting people from all parts of the world and learning about the history and culture of a new place."
In Michigan Tech's Study Abroad program, students take university courses overseas and broaden their perspectives in several ways. They grow personally, through an exposure to new cultures and places; academically, through access to courses not available at Michigan Tech and from different perspectives on topics taught at Michigan Tech; and professionally, as companies often hire students who have traveled and studied abroad.
Michigan Technological University (mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 130 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.
