Why Study Abroad? Study abroad can help you achieve your personal, academic, and professional goals. For many students, a global experience is the single most important and rewarding activity during their time at the University of Michigan.

Progress toward Graduation Global experiences can help you complete major, minor, and general education requirements in unique ways. They can also help you explore majors and minors that you are considering.

Distinguish Yourself An experience abroad can help you focus your career planning and learn more about how your academic and personal interests intersect. Employers and graduate schools seek candidates with intercultural skills and experiences and who demonstrate independence and initiative. Study abroad can give you all that and more.

Build Relationships Outside your comfort zone, you will likely discover new things about yourself, gain confidence, and broaden your imagination. You will learn to engage your surroundings in new ways and will develop an entirely new network of friends, peers, and mentors.
