BU's global education offers students an unique perspective in how contemporary people live and interact in an increasingly globalized world through a variety of programs, which include exchange programs and faculty-led study abroad programs.

Through these programs students are given the opportunity to reflect and share their own point of view and role within a global, interconnected society, as well as understand and discuss complex relationships of common social, ecological, political and economic issues.
