Semester Abroad Alters Senior’s Career Plans
Hannah Houtz ’20 whole-heartedly embraced the Argentinian culture during her months studying there.
Studying away shapes you and your worldview.
You’ll gain greater self-confidence, problem-solving skills and a global awareness that will prepare you for a lifetime of personal and professional success.
Our award-winning Global Opportunities (GO) study abroad program requires all of our students to study away from campus, and 95% of them do so in a foreign country. Choose from a traditional, semester-long study abroad program or a 2-6 week experience in an unfamiliar cultural context.
As part of the GO requirement, you’ll take on-campus courses to prepare you for your cross-cultural immersion and to reflect on your experience.
You’ll be exposed to different cultures while learning valuable things about yourself. You'll try foods you've never had before, brush up on a different language, meet a new best friend or look at your life in America from a new perspective.
We remove common barriers to studying abroad, such as:
Spend a few weeks exploring an unfamiliar culture during winter or summer break.
Take part in a traditional semester-long study abroad program.
Participate in a program not offered by the GO Program, or design your own experience.
