The benefits of world travel are universal, no matter where you study. Inspiration can be found anywhere you go, whether it's in the architecture of castles and cathedrals, the wilderness of the Outback, the mountain ranges of Northern Italy or the local communities where you will stay for the duration of your experience.
Every destination will have a friendly and supportive program director or international office to guide you along the way, helping you achieve the most out of your time away. Each country, each city, and each university has its own distinctive character - something unique that will ultimately draw you to your best choice! So, let's get started by considering them all and begin exploring your future!

Of many things, I learned how to truly feel, think, and act independently. The world is at your fingertips when you study abroad, a..."

"I understood a better view of Israeli culture from an inside's perspective-life, school, people, and definitely politics.

"My experience abroad was extremely worthwhile. While many people believe that they will find themselves, you learn that that is not true, however, you definitely notice little changes about yourself and what you find important or what you want to do in life. For example, while in these different countries, I made it a goal to vi..."
Demi Arroyo University of Hartford

"I've gained so much appreciation for Austria. So much of our world's art and music have come from this country, and I didn't know how much of it did before.
