Study abroad is one of the most rewarding and beneficial experiences available to Temple students. The opportunity to gain firsthand understanding of other cultures and languages through study abroad is personally enriching, and adding an international dimension to one's education enables students to better understand and put into context global issues and international events. Study abroad can last for a semester, an academic year, or a summer. Temple offers a number of study abroad programs for Temple students and those from other universities.
Students receiving financial aid can usually apply most sources of aid to study abroad fees.
The International Programs office can provide students with information and applications for Temple programs abroad. Study abroad staff also assist students in planning and carrying out study abroad for non-Temple programs. A resource library of information concerning fellowships and grants for overseas study and research, as well as materials describing various study programs and universities abroad, is available to members of the Temple community. Information on work and travel abroad is also available. Several grants, including Fulbright scholarships for graduate study abroad, are administered by International Programs.
