Globalized learning for a flat Earth
Why should I consider Study Abroad?
Study Abroad programs offer you the opportunity to explore world cultures and languages while developing the interpersonal and analytical skills vital to success in the global marketplace. A Study Abroad experience is a time of adventure where you can explore new themes, shift your perspective, build relationships, and challenge yourself to learn and grow. It’s also a chance to demonstrate initiative and adaptability as you plan and set off for your studies abroad.
Where can I study abroad?

What should I do if I want to study abroad?
Your first step is to attend either a general Study Abroad information session or one of the sessions offered by the University department offering a specific program. Then you should meet with your Faculty Advisor to discuss how your proposed Study Abroad program fits with your academic goals and requirements. You should also schedule an appointment with the Study Abroad Coordinator to discuss application procedures, departure preparations, and how to make arrangements.
And don’t forget to apply for a valid passport.
