The Traveling Tour offers European, Asian, Latin American and Chinese Cultural History Tours. You make friends with the neighbors and get to know people. After being there for a few weeks, you really pick up an ear for the language. Another type of studying abroad is through the Student Exchange Program. EMU currently has a student exchange with the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
Business students can also complete student exchanges with universities in Mexico and Canada.
There's a minimum amount of application costs and overall living expenses are cheaper in other countries. It is possible for students to be involved in other exchange programs at a university of their choice, but it's a long process and a lot of research, Klein said. The short-term program can be anywhere from three to 12 weeks long during the spring or summer semester. The long-term program can be an entire semester or a full year. There are at least two factors that determine how long a student chooses for his or her study program, Williams said.
