While most universities have official student exchange programs, some well-funded high schools have them, too. Although some students travel abroad mainly to improve their language skills, others travel to advance their specialized studies. Still others study abroad because suitable tertiary education is either in short supply or unavailable altogether in their home countries. In addition, in many parts of the world, a foreign degree, especially if earned from certain countries, is honored more than a local one. They are known to move past their cultural differences and learn a new language as well as new cultures. These students provide colleges with an opportunity to learn how to deal with those of diversity <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:";color:navy;" >Prospective international students are usually required to sit for language tests, such as IELTS& TOEFL(English speaking education), DELF (French speaking education) or DELE (Spanish speaking education), before they are admitted. Tests notwithstanding, while some international students already possess an excellent command of the local language upon arrival, some find their language ability, considered excellent domestically, inadequate for the purpose of understanding lectures, and/or of conveying oneself fluently in rapid conversations.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p><span style=";font-family:";color:navy;" >The </span><b><span style=";font-family:";color:red;" >International Baccalaureate</span></b><span style=";font-family:";color:navy;" > (<b>IB</b>), formerly the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), is an international educational foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.Founded in 1968 in Geneva, IB offers three educational programmes for children ages 3–19.The organisation's name and logo were changed in 2007 to reflect a new image and for legal reorganization.
