What is Study Abroad?
Study abroad is 1 semester of off-campus study at one of our established partner programs that gives students an opportunity to develop intercultural communication skills and global awareness while living in a new place.
Study Abroad is NOT the same as the major immersion trips. Studying Abroad gives you the opportunity to get to know a new community and culture by building relationships and exploring independently.
