Most students study abroad during their junior year. You can study abroad for a semester, academic year, or summer. Generally, the longer the program, the better. If an academic program abroad does not fit into your plans, then consider other ways to spend time living in another culture. For example, you can teach English in Japan for a year, spend six months working in Great Britain, or a summer volunteering at international workcamps around the world.
Nothing compares to the experience of studying in France.
Learning to live in another culture and becoming part of it is a fascinating challenge. The International Programs office, located on the second floor of the Tuttleman Learning Center, provides students with information and applications for Temple programs abroad, and assists students in planning and carrying out study abroad for non-Temple programs. We maintain a resource library of information on grants and fellowships for overseas study and research, as well as materials describing various study abroad programs and universities abroad. Information on work, volunteering and travel abroad is also available.
