Study Abroad & International Education
See the World. Find Yourself.
Study abroad changes you. A week, a summer or a semester abroad–you'll return with a powerful new perspective on your studies, your career path and your world. Developing a global mindset and collaborating cross-culturally is more important than ever in our increasingly interconnected world. That's why a ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø education often includes meaningful, firsthand experiences with another culture, language and people.
Study Abroad
Through the Center for International Education, you can choose from three different types of exciting study abroad options.
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Sponsored Programs
We offer programs organized by ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø faculty during spring break, over the summer, and for a full semester. You'll pay ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø tuition and fees plus a study abroad program fee. You can use ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø financial aid and take courses taught by both ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø professors and faculty from the host country.
Exchange Programs
We've built close partnerships with dozens of colleges and universities around the world. These partnerships offer you the opportunity to pay ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø tuition and fees and utilize ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø financial aid as full-time students at another university. Students will earn transfer credit at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø for courses that they have earned the equivalent of a C or better. All courses must be pre-approved for transfer credit.
Affiliate Programs
ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø students may decide to explore the hundreds of study abroad programs offered by other U.S. universities and third-party organizations. All classes must be pre-approved for credit, and you won't pay ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø tuition for the time that you're abroad. Students pay a study abroad fee to the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø. Students will earn transfer credit at the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø for courses that they have earned the equivalent of a C or better.
