Learning Abroad

Learning abroad can be a valuable part of your undergraduate experience. Geography students can take courses that relate to any focus area including GIS, biophysical geography, globalization and development, human geography, urban geography, and many more. Whether you want to study, volunteer, intern, or some combination of those, we can help you incorporate it into your geography major. Many students are able to use their experiences abroad as the base research for their senior projects. Talk to the undergraduate advisor to learn more about how you can plan to add a learning abroad experience to your major plan.

Find general learning abroad information, including programs available, advising, financial aid and scholarships, policies and procedures, and application materials at the Learning Abroad Center.
