Abstract
A limited understanding of life outside the United States becomes problematic when students graduate from college and enter a variety of job markets. This gap stems from the nature of college curricula, which often focus on books, examples and other course materials within the American context. With an increasingly integrated job market, it is imperative that university level educators broaden the scope of course content, not necessarily by having students do more work but rather, by providing opportunities within the syllabi for students to explore ideas from other countries.
