Study Abroad

Why should you study abroad?

Academic benefits: Earn major, minor, or elective credits and gain a global perspective on your field of study while still graduating on time! When compared with students who stay on campus, study abroad students are 20% more likely to graduate.

Career benefits: Gain a sense of direction and purpose for your career! 85% of study abroad alumni say their experience helped them build skills for the job market like adaptability, effective communication, critical thinking, and decision making.

Personal benefits: Strengthen your personal identity, find new interests and passions, and meet people from around the world!  Study abroad students are better prepared to engage in our continually globalizing society.
