Enroll in a study abroad program for an experience you’ll never forget. Not only will you learn in a classroom setting, you’ll also learn in the world’s classroom.
Immersing yourself in the culture of a foreign country might be the greatest educational opportunity you’ll ever have. And if you don’t think a semester abroad or a summer abroad are right for you, there are plenty of other options.
You’ll learn just as much about the world, and your place in it, if you choose to teach, work, or volunteer abroad. So pack your bags – the world awaits you!
Semester Abroad
One of the most popular college study abroad options is the semester abroad. In a semester’s time you can learn a great deal about a country, its people, and their customs. You can also bolster your grasp of a foreign language if you use it to conduct everyday business while abroad and while traveling throughout your host country.

Summer Abroad
Want the benefits of a study abroad program without spending a semester away from your home school? Then enroll in a college study abroad program during the summer. You’ll spend a couple of months getting to know a foreign country by living with its people, visiting its museums, and traveling its back roads and countryside while you earn college credit.

Work/Volunteer Abroad
If a study abroad program doesn’t fit your needs, but you still want to experience life in another country, then look into work or volunteer positions abroad. There are plenty of options for Americans, especially those with college degrees, in industrialized and developing countries around the world. And even though you won’t be enrolled in a study abroad program per se, the opportunities for learning are limitless. And you just might do something good for the world. That’s a rewarding experience that can’t be replicated. Learn more about Working or Volunteering Abroad.
Teach Abroad
Not sure what to do after graduation? Well if it’s adventure you seek, then teach abroad. Not only will you share your knowledge with people in other countries, but your students will also teach you a thing or two about the world from their own perspectives. And you just might learn a bit about yourself in the process. From teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL), to finding a full-time staff position at a foreign school or an American school abroad, you will have countless options for teaching abroad.
