Study abroad is much more than a trip—it’s an intellectual and cultural adventure that will change the way you see the world, other people, and yourself. Study abroad takes many forms such as credit-bearing programs, clinical experiences, internships, and service-learning projects. Through study abroad, student continue to earn credits towards their degree while building professional and interpersonal skills through an international experience.

Most of our programs do NOT have a foreign language requirement. If you are studying a foreign language, study abroad is the best way to dramatically improve your language skills. However, students of any major are eligible to study abroad!

From year-long, semester, spring break, or summer programs, there is a program length that can fit your goals! Study abroad does not take one specific form, and many students find the flexibility of short-term programs to be a great way to have an international experience while working towards their professional goals.
