An editorial lauds a new graduation requirement at Goucher College in Towson, Md. requiring all students to study abroad at some point during their program. "Study abroad is no longer a matter of individual growth, but of national strategic importance," the editorial suggests. This summer, Sens. Richard Durbin (D) of Illinois, and Norm Coleman (R) of Minnesota, introduced legislation to encourage 1 million students to study abroad annually in 10 years' time. In 2003-2004, the latest years for which data is available, 191,321 American students studied in other countries. That\'s roughly 1 percent of the total undergraduate student body. The editorial further suggests that American colleges and universities can facilitate study abroad now by making it easier to transfer credits, and by offering shorter programs and financial aid.
