At the College of Engineering, we want our students to have a truly global education. That might mean studying or working abroad. It can also mean a whole host of other things from internationally-focused coursework to volunteering in another country to learning from fellow classmates’ global experiences. Below are resources for finding opportunities to study, work, and volunteer abroad.
