17 Study Abroad impacts It has been overwhelmingly shown by research studies that: Study Abroad creates Personal Growth and builds Self-Confidence improves GPAs, dramatically increases Employability and Career Skills Few other life experiences have proven to net such a positive/sustainable impact.that is why. Halliburton has given a gift of $5 million to the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M University to provide students with international experiences, including study abroads, so that they are better prepared to work and succeed in a changing global economy
