Study Abroad
Your interest in
study abroad is to be commended. Studying abroad will help
you see the world from a completely new perspective and develop
new skills, independence, and self-confidence. You will
also set yourself apart from other job seekers when you
graduate. Only 4% of undergraduates have studied abroad! This is your chance to spend a summer, a semester, or a year
abroad. Whether you want to study in English or in a
foreign language, you will be able to find an opportunity that
suits you.
Finding a program based on
academic content
Listed below are links to
descriptions of different types of programs. It is a myth that
studying abroad will delay graduation. If you begin to plan
early and work with your academic advisor, you should be able to
find classes abroad that will help you fulfill Virginia Tech
degree or major requirements. Staff in Education Abroad can work
with you to find a program that fits your needs and interests.
We encourage you to explore the
"advising grids" we have developed that show
courses available in specific disciplines.
The focus in these grids is on bilateral student exchanges.
Additional grids are also available in ISEP publications and
brochures developed by non-VT program providers (you can pick
these up in 1820 Litton Reaves).
