This motto of Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad is a succinct way to sum up the advantages of study abroad for collegians. The following information will give you an idea.
Study abroad means living and studying for a period outside the United States.
Many U.S. colleges and universities now offer their students this opportunity, either through their own programs or through affiliations with programs of other schools, like Syracuse, that admit guest students. Students attend class and earn academic credit that, with proper advance consultation, counts toward their own degree requirements. Several different types of programs exist. It is important to find the one best for you. Overseas centers are, in effect, small branches of a U.S. school that exist in a variety of locations.
