Education Abroad

Did you know that Global Studies majors were the third largest group of undergraduate students to study abroad in Academic Year 2019-2020? While studying abroad is not a requirement of the Global Studies major, our students are always encouraged to break out of traditional classroom boundaries and challenge their perspectives. There's no better way to do that than from halfway across the globe! 

Interested in going abroad, but not sure the best place to study? Check out this resource on the International Studies Office's website. You can filter by your major (Global Studies) and concentration. 

Keep in mind this is just a starting point. For more information, set up an appointment with an Education Abroad Advisor.
