Cal Poly’s Study Abroad Program Ranked Top In The Nation For Fourth Time

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - Cal Poly is entering the winter season on a few bright notes.

The Campus Health and Wellbeing department has launched new medical vending machines containing basic over-the-counter pharmaceutical supplies.

A senior project expo on Friday featured the prototype of a portable carbon monoxide sensor, created in honor of late graduate Johnny Heathco.

And the university’s Study Abroad program is ranked first in the nation for the fourth year, according to the Institute Of International Education.

Students are taking their learn-by-doing motto global.

“This is the third consecutive year and fourth overall that we've ranked number one in the nation among master's level institutions,” says Cari Vanderkar, Cal Poly’s Assistant Vice Provost for International Programs. “For the number of students we've sent on study abroad. We're really pleased to offer a variety of programs from short term length, from even just, you know, 7 to 10 days, or up to a semester or academic year.”

Officials say studying abroad has a profound effect on students.
