How long, and which term, would I like to be abroad?

• Available terms: summer, semester, intersession, or acadmic year
• Students are eligible to study abraod the summer after their freshman year and can go abroad any semester before they graduate.

HogsAbroad Search Tip: you can narrow down the "term" parameter so that you will only see programs that are available during that selected time frame.

What destination is right for me?

• Programs are available in over sixty countries
• Most locations offer courses taught in English.
• Some locations offer specialized coursework, internships, or research opportunities.
• Language immersion programs are a great way to build fluency and work through two years of language courses in one semester.

Decisions about your study destination are also personal. Do you want to live in a bustling capital or quiet university town? Maybe somewhere more off the beaten path? Do you have a heritage interest in visiting a certain part of the world?

HogsAbroad Search Tip: You can refine your search by narrowing the "Country" or "Region" parameters.

What kind of credit can I earn while abroad?

• Meet with your academic advisor to discuss what classes will help you advance your degree progress.
• Do you need to take courses in your major or minor area of study?
• Would you like to gain language fluency?
• Do you have general electives available that will allow you more flexibility to take food, dance, art, and culture courses?

What are my financial considerations?

Programs range in cost, but we can help you find a program that fits your budget. Consider:

• Existing Aid: most existing Scholarships & Financial Aid can be used to study abroad.
• More Funding: Additional scholarship opportunities can help you make your goals more reachable.
• Program Length: shorter programs may allow you to return to work sooner and come with a lower sticker price, but a longer program may be more cost effective than a semester in Fayetteville.  Airfare can be one of the biggest expenses when going overseas, so the longer you can stay, you'll get more bang for your buck.
• Cost of Living: How much does food and lodging cost? What's the current exchange rate on currency? Make your dollar go farther.

Search Tip: A Study Abroad Advisor can help you find every opportunity for funding, and discuss relative costs in different destinations.
