Study Abroad Students
The Study Abroad Program allow students to receive an immersive educational experience in their subjects of choice abroad, meet their peers from other countries, experience different cultural contexts, languages and traditions, and learn how to adapt to them. While studying in foreign countries, students also learn more about themselves, their home country and culture through the lens of the global community.
