Study Away

Pursue your purpose, wherever it takes you. Prepare to lead in a global society.

Off campus experiential learning experiences, like study away, study abroad, internships, research, paid work experiences, volunteer work and even summer jobs, provide you with the opportunity to translate what you are learning in the classroom into real world action. Stand out and design your next adventure now.

Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Off campus opportunities encourage you to get out of your comfort zone, try new things, build new perspectives, and experience what you like or don’t like about a career. Studying in a new country or city will challenge you to build your language and communication skills, develop emotional and cultural intelligence and understand the global impact of your work. Off campus opportunities are essential to building local, national and global professional networks that are invaluable for graduate school recommendations and job opportunities.

I learned how to be by myself. There was a coming to terms with the idea of being out of the country for the first time, except for Canada. There's a sense of independence I got from this experience.
