Every Columbia student should give serious consideration to studying overseas. Whatever career a Columbia graduate chooses, international opportunities will expand enormously over your lifetime. The experience gained through a term or year abroad will prove the invaluable opportunity to develop cultural literacy in another country, this substantive understanding of another perspective on the world will deepen your understanding of yourself, your own society, and your values. This is what a liberal arts education is all about.

Integrating a term or year abroad can take forethought, research and planning. The Office of Global Programs, your school and department advisors are here to help you as you undertake this next step in your education. It is time to embark on what will become one of the most memorable experiences of your lifetime!
