���Ĵ�ý

The ���Ĵ�ý has moved up to No. 3 in the country for undergraduate participation in the����program. The 2016 ranking is a slight improvement from last year when the University ranked 4th.

�ճ����, released by Open Doors, highlights the top 40 doctorate-granting universities. DU’s student participation rate in study abroad increased this year to 67.9 percent, up from 65.6 percent the previous year.

“We are pleased to remain as top-rated in the U.S. for our percentage of undergraduates who participate in study abroad,” says Michelle Rembolt, assistant director of the Office of International Education.

The United Kingdom, Spain and Australia continue to be the top destinations for ���Ĵ�ýs. The University of Glasgow (Scotland), University of Otago (New Zealand) and Nebrija University (Spain) are the institutions with the largest number of ���Ĵ�ýs.

“We see that ���Ĵ�ýs gain new world perspectives, new academic and professional skills, and often a new personal passion and understanding of global relationships and events while studying abroad,” Rembolt says. “Our ranking is certainly a gratifying recognition of DU’s commitment to its students, and it is just one of the facets of internationalization on DU’s campus.”
