Study Abroad
Do you know any undergraduate student traveling abroad this summer for work, volunteering, or to do research? Let us know!
Are you interested in leading a study abroad course? Please contact our office.
“My study abroad maymester in Trinidad and Tobago was one
the most transformative experi-ences in my time at Purdue. I met interesting people from different cultures, learned about the chal-lenges that faces an island nation
as it transitions out of a fossil fuel-based economy, and saw
fantastic wildlife representative of one of the most biologically diverse places on the planet.”
-Joe Morgan-
“Studying abroad was such an exhilarating, refreshing, and new life experience. Facing new challenges, opportunities, and lessons
during my trip allowed me to become a more open minded and independent person.”
