We consider studying abroad an integral component to any education. The experience students receive complements their own development, exposure to other cultures, opportunities, and economic and social systems. All majors support the inclusion of an abroad experience. Whether the study abroad experience is either a short-term, term, or full year program, incorporating the courses into your undergraduate degree is possible.
