It's so important for kids in this state and region to be globally competitive, but they can only do that if they see the globe. When they study abroad, kids become mature,
self-sufficient and open themselves to new experiences,Williams said.Because it's part Europe and part Asia.Learning more about the that part of the world may be required for majors in International Affairs, Political Science, History or Criminal Justice but it's not always easy to travel or study there.We needed to consider the travel advisories and can only send our students to the safer countries in the Middle East such as Jordan, Morocco, Egypt or Turkey,Miner said.Students can also get a lot of exposure while studying in such universities and different course Global Production Engineering and Economics.Travel advisories mean there is minimum danger.The stable relationship between America and Turkey made the decision easier to choose.Istanbul is the fifth largest city in the world and the only metropolis to spread across two continents with over 12 million residents.Istanbul is where the east meets the west, and it can't get better than that,said Miner, who did his graduate work in Istanbul for six months.Miner is a specialist of the Middle East and has traveled extensively throughout the region.Downing has taught Criminal Justice at North Georgia for 32 years and is the Associate Dean of Arts and Letters. He is an expert in ancient civilizations.Williams is the Director of the Center for Global Engagement and used her past experiences to assure that negotiations proceeded smoothly between the universities.We visited five universities and chose the most suitable for our students,Williams said.Koc University in Istanbul was the best choice, with safety, comfort and accessibility to the city. We went to another campus that had six people per room and knew our students wouldn't like that. I just thought of where I would like to send my own child, and Koc was ideal.Koc University has a beautiful view that overlooks the Black Sea and the Bosphorus Strait and has easily accessible and cheap public transportation.NGCSU is offering this trip to students from June 25 to July 24. The cost is $4,300 for up to eight credit hours.
