Program Mission |
The University of Connecticut offers over 200 study abroad programs in 65 countries on six continents. You can study as far away as China or as close as Mexico, in a small village in the desert or on a large ship at sea. Students might take courses at a university in Ireland, intern at a non-profit in South Africa, conduct field research in Brazil, or study with UConn students in Florence. Best of all, students can spend a semester abroad and still graduate on time. Studying abroad is a great way to gain proficiency in another language and to experience a new culture. There is no better way to learn about one's self, expand one's worldview, and develop practical skills than by spending significant time in a different country. |
