A summer, semester, or year abroad can be a wonderful, life-changing experience. Studying abroad will enhance your undergraduate program of study, immerse you in another culture, give you opportunities to improve foreign language skills, allow you to earn academic credit and to travel to other countries. Most importantly, studying abroad will help to make you a global citizen by opening the doors to intercultural understanding. As our world becomes more connected, international experience and intercultural competence are becoming increasingly important, and those of you who have studied abroad will find your experiences invaluable in furthering your education or finding a job. The staff at the Office of International Programs can help you select a study abroad program that is appropriate to your field of study and personal interests and needs. We will also assist you in preparing for your study abroad experience.

For detailed information about study abroad at Ithaca College, please read through the Ithaca College Study Abroad Guide (PDF).

If you are interested in learning more about the study abroad experience from study abroad returnees, would like to help those students promote study abroad and/or would just like to mingle with like minded people, take a look at the current activities of the Cultural Connections Club.

Sincerely,

Rachel Cullenen
Director of Study Abroad
