Students overwhelmingly agree that studying overseas is an experience that has given them a more sophisticated understanding of themselves, their own society and culture, and the world. Through a firsthand experience of another culture, you can enrich your academic disciplines with comparative perspectives while broadening your personal horizons. With the internationalization of US business via international and multinational trade, the most successful leaders of tomorrow will be those with international experience, those who are comfortable crossing national and cultural boundaries. Study abroad provides an unparalleled opportunity for such preparation. Purdue is dedicated to making study abroad an integral part of the academic experience for every interested student.
Most programs allow students to study abroad in their sophomore, junior, and senior years.
The sooner you explore how study abroad can fit into your academic plan, the greater your range of options will be. For more information, link to Purdue University's Study Abroad Program .
