ABSTRACT
Programs in science and technology are highly coordinated. In fact, these programs attempt to accomplish a very difficult task: within a four-year period to produce a competent professional who, along with the necessary specialized preparation, has met the general education requirements which will presumably make him a good member of society. Academic credits are awarded differently in different educational systems. The humanities and social sciences compare an especially broad spectrum of issues in international education. The role of education abroad for the undergraduate is to contribute to the overall intellectual growth of the student, by making explicit the gap between the student's culture and experience and that of the visited country. The linguistic imperialism of English has worked in many countries. This is evident not only in scientific discourse, which is largely conducted in English, but it is also evident in the youth culture.
