Open Doors report ranks UGA 12th

And speaking of study abroad, our many programs on campus have been noticed by the Institute of International Education, which moved UGA up three notches to 12th in its 2012 Open Doors list:

During the 2010-2011 academic year, 2,079 students learned in environments beyond the U.S. border. This number represents 25 percent of the graduating class.

...

UGA also ranked fifth in the nation in the number of students who participate in summer and other short-term programs (1,621), while at the same time, 521 UGA students chose to spend a full semester or academic year abroad in 2011. An additional 150-200 students from other universities enroll through UGA study-abroad programs each year.

And notably, 

Each of UGA’s 17 colleges and schools sends students abroad. The majority of them travel while pursuing degrees from the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, but the Terry College of Business, the School of Public and International Affairs and the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication also send more than 200 students abroad annually. Professional students from the College of  Veterinary Medicine and the School of Law have increased participation lately, and professional and graduate students account for more than 10 percent of all UGA study-abroad participants.

Emphasis mine.
