#Travel Tuesday Mediterranean
The Mediterranean has rocky coasts along the borders of many countries including Spain, Italy and Morocco. Each of these options are available to Goodman students who wish to study within close proximity of the deep blue depths of this expansive sea. This region has been a pathway for international trade for thousands of years and this rich history in international business makes it a great place to study abroad.
