Study Abroad

Study Abroad Approved Programs

 "There are two things that I truly valued the most about studying abroad in China. The first was experiencing what life is like in a developing nation because it made me appreciate the kind of lifestyles and opportunities we enjoy in the USA. And second, I took the opportunity to travel around the country on my own for two months and I met some incredibly different and amazing people from all over the world who taught me things that I never would have learned had I stayed at UMass Dartmouth. Plus I learned Chinese which is pretty cool."

Tips for Choosing the Best Program for Your Study Abroad Goals

• Study Abroad should enhance the study you do on campus and build your intercultural skills.  That can be accomplished in any country.
• Some facility with a language other than English can distinguish you in the workplace.  If you've already taken some courses in a language or are hoping to, try searching on your major and focus on programs in countries that use that language. 
• Search the program database. Carefully compare the programs, identify your first choice, and proceed to the application step.  (Apply for only one program, and contact Advisors in the IPO with questions.)
