Programs by Area of Study


College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

College of Design

In today’s design practice, global awareness is critical. International study challenges a designer to envision a wider range of design options and gain insight into biases and preconceptions that hamper the creative process.

College of Education

Studying abroad shapes students’ views on diversity, equity and inclusivity, and helps develop cultural competency. Study abroad programs equip future teachers with cultural experiences through immersive experiences.

College of Engineering

College of Humanities and Social Sciences

Immerse yourself in another country and become a citizen of the world when you study Humanities and Social Sciences abroad. In addition to fulfilling degree requirements in English, students can also study World Languages and Cultures on many semester and short-term programs.
