Students have many academic and personal reasons for studying abroad.
Students who study abroad often report that they have clearer long-range goals when they return. Although the reasons may be different for everyone, for those who take on the challenge, living and studying abroad truly is one of the most exciting educational opportunities available at this university. Northwestern's list of study abroad sites is changing and growing. You may choose among programs in Australia, South America, Europe, Asia, Central America, and Africa. You can also petition the University Study Abroad Committee for permission to participate in a program not offered by Northwestern but that best serves your specific academic needs.
