    Villanova has moved from sending only 4 percent of its students abroad in 1986 to 32 percent in 1995. We have seen positive reactions from faculty and administration to the presence on campus of 'veterans' of overseas study.

    The students who wish to study overseas remain largely white, upper-middle- class females. But one-third of our students do study outside Western Europe, with the majority in the Pacific Rim (equally divided between Japan and Australia, admittedly not diverse), and many in Eastern Europe, Russia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Villanova students also now go on a wider range of programs than before 1990.

    Study Abroad is more an integrated part of university-wide academic programs. This is primarily due to affiliation agreements and student exchanges in the fields of law (Univ. of Haifa), business (Espeme FR, ICADE, SP and Bethlehem Univ./Occ. West Bank), nursing (Kings College, U.K. and Jordan Univ. of Science and Technology, Jordan), and engineering (Univ. of Manchester, U.K.).
