Klein College of Media and Communication

There are several ways to choose a study abroad program, including by location, term, or type of experience. One way many students want to get started is by understanding which programs offer courses for their major. This page highlights programs especially suited to students in your school or college and can be used as a great starting point in your search.

Be sure to meet with your academic advisor as early as possible to map out which degree requirements you can plan to take abroad. Many programs include GenEd courses, minor requirements, or can help fulfill electives. If you don’t plan to take any major courses while abroad, explore the programs pages on our website to learn more about all the options.
