Those classes which entered in the Fall of 2023, 2024 and 2025will experience part of their academic careers under a mixture of quarters and semesters. Therewill need to be a transition program for each of these classes. With a commitment to not delayany student’s path to graduation and the implementation of well-crafted course substitutions thatalways favor the student, this can be achieved with minimum rancor. The good news is that theproblem only lasts for three years and simply needs to be endured.Conclusions

. Cultural preparation is essential for any study abroad program. It's important for students to understand the culture, customs, and expectations of the place they are visiting. This can help avoid misunderstandings and cultural insensitivity. In addition, communicating with people from different cultures and languages is a valuable skill that can benefit students in many aspects of their lives. Learning how to appreciate and understand other cultures can help avoid misunderstandings and create more meaningful relationships. 2. This can also be applied to learning about different organizational cultures they may find themselves in during their careers. 3. Employability skills are also important for

They found that the main reasons cited by foreign students for pursuingtheir degrees in the US were the higher quality of education, future career opportunities, thedesire to experience living abroad, the opportunity to work with specific faculty, and thepossibility of applying for residence in the United States [20]. This suggests that the UnitedStates is an attractive destination for international students who seek quality education, careeropportunities, and a path to residency.Language-related issues cause significant challenges for international graduate students,particularly for students from non-English speaking countries.

He became interested in engineering through the STEM courses he took in high school,then the coursework and salary for the profession motivated him to pursue an engineeringdegree. Since enrolling at FIU, Alberto says he has experienced an environment of toxicmasculinity: Since STEM is such a male-dominated career, it does have a lot of toxic masculinity and I've noticed that throughout my years at FIU.
