Students may choose to study abroad for an entire year, one semester, or over the summer and winter breaks—and they are encouraged by faculty to participate. Whether completing general Liberal Learning education requirements or fulfilling engineering degree requirements, studying abroad offers perspective, experience and wisdom that only learning in a foreign culture can provide.
