A study abroad program is an educational or academic program that allows students to pursue secondary, tertiary or graduate studies in a country other than one’s own. Through this program, a foreign national can pursue studies in the US, or an American citizen can attend university or college abroad. Locations may include but are not limited to Australia, England, Spain, Switzerland, Germany, France, Austria, New Zealand and China. The purpose of this is to enrich the lives of students not only through classroom lessons but also through hands-on experience in different cultures.

Highlights: One of the best things that students love about study abroad programs is the opportunity to travel while studying. Students will have the chance to go around the country where they are studying to visit historical landmarks, museums and other points of interest.

Regional Considerations: Academic lessons and experiences differ per location, so choose which particular country and city you would want to explore and study in. For instance, if you are taking art studies, you would want to study in France or Italy where some of the world's most renowned artworks can be found.

Safety: A student will be studying and living in an unfamiliar location, so it is imperative to inquire about the safety precautions imposed by the summer study abroad program, to ensure the safety of the students.
