Students wishing to study in an English-speaking country or environment have many options.
Programs in Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, etc. offer excellent opportunities for students in every major. Often students find programs in such countries that are specifically geared toward their academic interests. Programs in Sweden and Denmark, for example, offer complete university instruction in English, while the students live with native host families. Most students study abroad during their junior year, although some students choose to study abroad for one semester during the fall of their senior year. A student must, however, finish a minimum of four semesters before he or she may study abroad.
