Cornell Abroad invites you to spend a semester or an academic year of study abroad worldwide - in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, or Oceania (Australia and New Zealand) - as an integral part of your Cornell undergraduate degree. Study abroad can give you an enriching intellectual experience, a deeper understanding of yourself and the world, expanded career potential, and enhanced maturity as you adjust to another system of education, a different culture, and in many cases, another language. These qualities and experiences will prepare you for citizenship in our interdependent global world.
You will want to consider your program of study here at Cornell in your undergraduate college or major, your special interests, and your professional goals, in deciding which type of program is best for you.
Administratively, study abroad programs may be run directly by Cornell, by other American colleges and universities, by freestanding study abroad agencies, or directly by programs that have been developed to meet the special academic interests of Cornell students.
Study Abroad Programs offer different formats:
- direct enrollment in universities
- study in special study abroad classrooms
- experiential-learning featuring language, culture, research and field study
- academic internships
Begin gathering information from the resource library at Cornell Abroad and come to information meetings held at the start of each semester. Staff will answer your questions anytime between 9:00 and 4:00 daily (10:30-4:00 Tuesday), and the directors see students for program advising daily between 1:30 and 3:00. Academic advising about how your study abroad program choice will fit into your Cornell degree requirements is provided by your College Study Abroad Advisors who will sign off on your Cornell Abroad application.
Click on the interactive map on the Cornell Abroad homepage to find recommended study abroad programs and universities in geographic regions of interest. The program descriptions on this website are by no means exhaustive but represent good choices for Cornell fields of study. Be sure to consult our FAQ page for answers to many frequently asked questions about study abroad.
Cornell Abroad publishes flyers for study abroad in:
These flyers may help you begin to research options in those regions. The Cornell Abroad searchable database will also help you find programs and universities that have worked well for undergraduates from the seven colleges. Additional flyers for study at some individual universities are also available in the database, as well as in the office. Because the neither the database nor the flyers are exhaustive, you are certainly encouraged to search for alternatives and discuss them with Cornell Abroad staff and your College Study Abroad Advisor. Notably missing from the database are summer opportunities because Cornell Abroad does not administer summer study. However, we will be glad to get you started on an information search at 300 Caldwell Hall.| Back To Top |  |
