Because of the many academic benefits of studying abroad, these programs are quite popular at universities across the country. Some colleges design and administer their own study abroad programs, while others partner with various study abroad providers. A study abroad program may last for one semester, a summer, just weeks or even an entire year.
Regardless of their administration, all study abroad programs share one thing in common: They provide a truly immersive learning experience that nurtures academic, personal and professional growth among students. In other words, a study abroad program can change your life for the better.
During your program, you may live in university housing (such as a dormitory or student apartment) or with a host family. You’ll attend classes and complete assignments for your host university while continuing to make progress toward completing your degree. You will also have plenty of opportunities to explore your host country and enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences to create memories that will last a lifetime.
