Study abroad program participation decreases
By Zach White | September 7Some UNC-system schools have seen a decline in participation for study abroad programs as a result of financial strains, and they are rethinking their joint ventures with international universities. The number of UNC-Chapel Hill students studying abroad dropped 10 percent from last year, said Bob Miles, associate dean for Study Abroad and International Exchanges. He said the reason for the decline is from economic pressures on students and their families.
