Study Abroad
Immerse yourself in the history and cultures of other countries as you earn academic credit for your major or minor.
"It’s one thing to read about the places you study; it’s another thing to travel abroad and see the actual environment, to interact with real people, and feel the ambiance where history took place."
– History undergraduate
