"Learning Abroad Graduate Advisor"

At Learning Abroad, we believe that education extends beyond the classroom and across borders. Our mission is to provide students with transformative international experiences that foster academic growth, intercultural understanding, and personal development. These experiences include semesters and summers abroad, short-term faculty-led programs, international internships, and global research opportunities. Last year, we sent over 800 students abroad and awarded more than $400,000 in scholarships.

Our dedicated team supports students in exploring programs that align with their academic goals, professional aspirations, and personal interests. We also assist with the application process, credit transfer, travel preparation, and student health and safety. With partnerships across the globe, we're proud to offer access to over 50 countries and hundreds of disciplines.
