Study abroad

You’ll have the opportunity to develop a global perspective in your field of study, gain a sense of direction and purpose for your future career, and begin to build a network of professional contacts around the world. Study Abroad Office programs are flexible so you can plan a global experience around your schedule. And any program offered through the Study Abroad Office provides ASU credits toward your degree.

Potential employers value the skills students can gain such as critical thinking, problem-solving, flexibility, adaptability, confidence and intercultural competencies.

Financial aid, including many ASU and non-ASU scholarships, can be applied toward a number of ASU-sponsored Study Abroad Office programs. More information on study abroad grants and scholarships is available as well as ideas on how to generate community-based funding.
