Arissa Ford, a music major with an emphasis in business, recently studied abroad in Bremen, Germany. She chose the program to deepen her understanding of German culture and language—skills that enhance her ability to authentically interpret and perform vocal works in German. While abroad, Arissa also gained valuable insight into global business practices, explored stunning architecture, and made lasting friendships with fellow international students. “The experience was truly eye-opening,” she shared. “I’m so grateful for the memories, the architecture, and the amazing food!” #UMSLGlobal #StudyAbroad #UMSLProud #globaleducation
