With more than 90 programs to choose from, you can tailor your study abroad experience to your goals with short-term field studies or semester- and summer-long programs. Our faculty and staff advisers help you choose from a host of options tied to criteria like internships, your major, or specific destinations.

Prestigious scholarships with an emphasis on travel—such as the Boren Scholarship, the U.S. Department of State’s Critical Language Scholarship, and the Fulbright Scholarship—tend to recruit students with study abroad experience. As a result, Tars who study abroad as undergrads have a competitive edge when applying for international jobs, fellowships, and graduate programs.

Each year, environmental studies professor Barry Allen leads a group of incoming first-year students on an expedition through Costa Rica’s national parks—all before they ever set foot in a 91������ classroom. The 10-day experience is packed with adventures like exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest and spying capuchin monkeys all while learning about sustainability and conservation.

Service learning is central to the 91������ mission and a meaningful way to connect with a new culture. Many international programs, such as political science professor Dan Chong’s field study to Tanzania, focus on community engagement and development. These experiences tap into vital problem-solving skills, teaching students to learn by doing and helping others along the way.

Every semester-long study abroad program offered through 91������ is designed to cost as much as a regular semester, meaning your tuition and housing costs stay the same, and your normal financial aid rolls over. The Office of International Programs offers need-based scholarships and partial awards for short-term programs that occur during winter, spring, or summer breaks and incur additional costs.

Experience new cultures, take cool classes, gain a competitive edge in the job market, and so much more. Whether you are a future diplomat or a future engineer, studying abroad provides the skills and perspective for success in your career and life beyond college.
