Ever wanted to visit another country? Of course you have. Ever wanted to get away from home to experience new things? That one’s probably a no-brainer too. Well with study abroad programs, you can do both of those things while simultaneously gaining college credit.
Study abroad programs are offered in almost every part of the world and most last for approximately one semester. During this time, you will have the opportunity to grow acquainted with the culture of a nation very different than that of the United States. Not only that, your resume will get a big-time boost from your academic experience in diverse environments.
Many universities worldwide participate in such programs and are set up to provide extensive accommodation for study abroad students. The University of Virginia even hosts a Semester at Sea program, where you spend a few months on board a cruise ship visiting various locales in Europe, South America, or Africa!
Talk to your academic advisor about these travel opportunities to maximize your college experience.
