The descriptions of various independent study abroad programs specify whether the curriculum has been designed primarily for undergraduate or graduate students. For rules regarding transfer credit, check with the chair of graduate studies in your department and with the Graduate School. In our resource room you will find information sent to Purdue from graduate degree programs around the world. Research Abroad Check with your advisor for the names of scholars in your field abroad whom you might contact about research. A major source of funding for graduate research abroad is the Fulbright program.
Grantees plan their own programs.
Projects may include university coursework, independent library or field research, classes in a music conservatory or art school, special projects in the social or life sciences, or a combination. Detailed information about the Fulbright program is available in the Study Abroad Office. Also located in our resource room are materials on working and jobs overseas. See the handouts on Work Abroad, International Internships, International Opportunities in Science and Engineering, Teaching Abroad Without a Certificate, and others. You may obtain a permit to work abroad through CIEE if you are currently a student as well as for the semester immediately following graduation.
