Participating in a study abroad program, whether to study, intern, research or volunteer, can be a life-changing experience. At °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï, we understand that our students have individual learning goals, which is why we have such a robust set of approved study abroad and domestic study away programs — over 250 options in 70 countries! (And this is just our semester options!)

At °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï, students may use their financial aid for our approved semester programs. Please explore our Off-Campus Study and Financial Aid information page for more guidance.
