Learning Abroad

The communication environment of the 21st Century will be defined by the flow of images, people, and ideas across borders. To provide the necessary context for participating in this global flow of communication, Communication Studies majors are encouraged to make study abroad an integral part of their education. You may pursue coursework in political communication, media analysis, cross-cultural communication, and interpersonal communication, as well as honing your intercultural communication skills through immersion in the daily life of another society.

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

For information specifically on learning abroad for Communication Studies majors see the Study Abroad Major Advising Sheet (PDF)

Early planning and systematic consultation with advisers in the Learning Abroad Center and the department is key to assuring you:

  • find the right program for you
  • meet application or scholarship deadlines
  • are able to apply appropriate courses taken abroad to your major/minor and/or Liberal Education requirements
