Quick Links Why a Semester/Year Abroad?
Semester abroad and year abroad programs provide the greatest flexibility for fulfilling degree requirements while allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of your host country. As a semester abroad or academic year abroad participant, you will enroll directly into the university of your choice, select classes from a broad range of subjects, study alongside local students, live on or near campus, and have the freedom to participate in clubs or activities of interest.
Upon approval of the home university, credits may be transferred back towards degree requirements, and financial aid may be applied to any of our semester abroad programs. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad also provides study abroad scholarships and funding information, travel opportunities, and alumni resources.
