What to Study Abroad Students from any major can study abroad. Academic Subjects Students can study abroad in their major, minor, or area of interest. Some programs, such as the British exchanges, offer intensive coursework in specific subjects.
Study abroad can also give students cross-cultural insights into their area of study.
Some programs are designed to help students learn or improve foreign language skills. Classes focus on language, conversation, and grammar. Unlike studying a foreign language in the United States, students abroad benefit from the daily necessity of communicating in a different language. Some programs also offer special language instruction, such as business vocabulary or translation. Although many students study overseas to improve their foreign language skills, study abroad is by no means limited to language majors.
