Texas A&M Universitys Vision 2020 states, among other things: To position our students to live and compete in a global society, Texas A&M University must produce graduates who are not only academically prepared, but who have the capacity to understand other cultures and to live and work outside their own cultural framework. Since 2006, undergraduate education students from Texas A&M University have traveled to many countries in Europe, Asia, and Central America following intensive preparation courses in which they, prior to their travels, study and research the literature, art, history, and culture of a particular country and, in some cases, develop lessons to teach students who are English as a Foreign Language Learners (EFL).
