8.6 International Study Programs

The University believes that a study experience in a different country is important in fostering awareness of other cultures, deepening one's awareness of one's own culture and developing future career paths. Consequently the University encourages study abroad and facilitates program planning for those students who wish to earn academic credit for studies accomplished in other countries of study abroad programs. It also participates in networks of established programs around the world. In addition, students can tailor individual programs in foreign countries according to their own academic, professional and personal needs. Special course/program fees may be associated with international study programs. Information on all international programs and guidance on study abroad are available through the Global Connections office, 102 Hagestad Hall.
