Study abroad

Studying abroad is an outstanding opportunity to enhance your education!

An international experience can enhance your “soft” skills (things like confidence, communication and cross-cultural experience) while at the same time earning meaningful credit toward your degree.

If you’re thinking about doing a study abroad program, start by making an appointment with one of our advisors. Exploration advisors can help you learn more about study-abroad options and narrow down the best programs for you. Enrollment managers can help you navigate the application process, eligibility and course equivalencies. And study abroad advisors can answer in-depth questions about specific programs to make sure they fit your needs and goals.

Plan, plan, plan!

It’s important to find a program that fits your academic needs—so check out the major advising pages. They’re a guide to your major’s (or certificate’s) requirements as they relate to studying abroad—and an excellent way to help you stay on track with your academic requirements. They can also help you identify the best times to study abroad and determine which study-abroad programs offer courses in your major or certificate.

Find study-abroad programs that offer engineering coursework

There are many study-abroad opportunities that offer courses for engineering students! In addition to the major advising pages, you can filter for all programs offering engineering courses through the program search. (You can even check out all study-abroad programs through the main program search.)

Certificate in International Engineering

You can earn a Certificate in International Engineering by demonstrating your knowledge of a specific country or region other than the United States.
