Studying abroad for a full semester or academic year gives you the most opportunity to experience another culture and allows you to maximize funding opportunities. While careful and advanced planning is required, most students interested in spending a semester abroad are able to do so while staying on track to graduate on their desired timeline. 

Since federal and state financial aid can typically be used for a semester abroad, there is usually less out of pocket cost to the student. In addition, several scholarships are available to help offset costs.
