Abroad 1800 Lincoln Ave. The University of Evansville so strongly encourages its students to study abroad that it allows not only federal and state financial aid but also University aid to travel with the students on approved programs. Moreover, UE has made a concerted effort to find programs in almost every part of the world. The University will consider new programs which do not conflict with those already in place for students unable to find what they need among our listings. That depends on the student's major.
Some majors allow more flexibility than others.
Specifically, many humanities majors can study abroad almost any time their sophomore, junior, or senior year while engineering and science majors must plan early so they can step away for a semester or an academic year and still graduate in four years. Students who plan ahead and secure course approval from their academic advisors usually find studying abroad does not have to postpone their graduation dates. Studying abroad is not for everyone. Students who choose to live in another country are usually intelligent, flexible, adventurous, resourceful, and assertive. Students who choose to study abroad represent only a small percentage of the US college population, so they are unique - something that works to their advantage in job interviews later on.
