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.
