Studying abroad is a great way to develop new skills and enhance your learning through real world experiences. The global and domestic travel programs provided by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences allow students to be exposed to new ideas, experience different cultures, and expand their professional networks, all while earning academic credits for their degree program.

Did you know that there have been several CALS students who have visited all seven continents through CALS Study Abroad?! The sky is the limit and our office is here to support students each step of the way! So, once you have one study abroad trip under your belt, you won’t want to stop learning and exploring what the world has to offer.
