The goal of the Study Abroad Office is to enable students to incorporate a summer, winter, semester, or year abroad into their degree program at Maryland. Study abroad increases awareness of other cultures and languages while providing a comparative international perspective.
Many students find study abroad essential for their major or career plans.
Others view it as part of their liberal arts education. The Study Abroad Office provides handouts and advising on the wide variety of programs available. A small library provides information on programs offered by other universities. The office assists students in obtaining credit for their experience abroad. All students can use study abroad to enrich their programs and to fulfill CORE requirements and electives.
