Increasing ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s Global Reach

ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s Global Learning department in Global Engagement offers more than 25 Summer Study Abroad programs in 18 countries across the globe.

Summer Study Abroad Programs provide short-term, high-impact academic experiences that strengthen learning outcomes and connect classroom theory to global practice.

By integrating intercultural experiences with academic frameworks, Summer Study Abroad advances ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s mission to prepare students to lead in international and intercultural settings.
