Study Abroad

Discover the World

The opportunity to both travel and study can be a life-changing experience. It will leave you with a firsthand understanding of our increasingly global society, an appreciation for other cultures and their business and political institutions, and often with improved foreign language skills. International travel can make you a stronger candidate for graduate school and a more marketable employee for today's increasingly global workforce. 

Faculty-Led Short-Term Travel Courses

Short seminar travel courses (typically 7-10 days) can be an eye-opening, career-building experience. Recent faculty-led travel courses have visited such destinations as Australia, China, France, Guatemala, the Czech Republic, England, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Nicaragua, Peru, and Spain. Where will your professors take you?
