Why Study Abroad?

Study abroad will enhance your credentials and enrich your life. Many people who have studied abroad will tell you that it was the single most important event of their college education. Study abroad can assist you in becoming “fluent” in a language other than English. It can also help you to become “culturally literate” and teach you how to learn from others around the world. Study abroad can enhance your qualifications for a career in a world that is becoming increasingly interdependent.

Who Can Go?

You must have completed your freshman year before you can study abroad. You must have a 2.75 GPA or higher. You need to be self-motivated, independent, have a strong interest in learning about other cultures and a desire for adventure.

Who to Contact?

The Office of Study Abroad is located in the Center for International Programs in 320 Old Main. Submit the Online Study Abroad Application Form and you will be contacted to schedule a consultation meeting.
