International Exchange
The university has been actively promoting intercultural understanding in its education, carrying out various exchange programs via the University's network of 18 universities in eight countries around the world.These programs include programs focusing mainly on language training and exposure to cultural diversity, longer overseas stays for studies, and overseas internships enabling students to gain working experience in an international environment, thereby learning intercultural sensibility and practical skills. For their unique content, not found in other universities' overseas programs, OGU's internships are drawing much attention.

Famous quotes containing the word exchange:
“To coöperate in the highest as well as the lowest sense, means to get our living together. I heard it proposed lately that two young men should travel together over the world, the one without money, earning his means as he went, before the mast and behind the plow, the other carrying a bill of exchange in his pocket. It was easy to see that they could not long be companions or coöperate, since one would not operate at all. They would part at the first interesting crisis in their adventures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
