Plan for Possibilities

Step outside the classroom into another country, culture and perhaps even a life-changing experience. Students who study abroad immerse themselves in different cultures and languages, as well as gain global perspectives, friends and unforgettable experiences. With partnerships at over 150 universities, in over 85 countries, and many USU faculty-led programs, students can go just about anywhere and study anything, regardless of language skills.

Explore Programs

Take your education outside the classroom and outside the mountains of Utah. The Office of Global Engagement connects you with opportunities to study abroad in over 80 countries at over 150 universities. Enhance your education by immersing yourself in a different culture, living like a local, and gaining some 'real world' experience.

Programs could be anywhere from 10 days to a full academic or calendar year. Many programs are offered in English and require no second language skills, though language learning opportunities are also available. Gain hands-on and experiential learning - find the right program fit for you. Programs are offered through USU (faculty-led) and programs like International Student Exchange Progam (ISEP), International Studies Abroad (ISA), Council on International Educational Exchange (CIEE), School for International Training (SIT), Study Abroad Italy (SAI), and Semester at Sea (SAS).

Visit with your financial aid counselor about using loans, scholarships, and grants toward your study abroad program.

Study abroad will be one of the more enriching and eye-opening experiences of your life. It gives me chills to think about what it has done for me. To learn how to be independent in another country, learn and adapt to a new culture, and possibly a new language is one of the best things you can do for yourself. That being said, engage as much as possible! Speak their language and follow their habits, you're there to learn and GROW!

I met with the money management center when I was worried about how to pay for my fall tuition. They lended an empathetic ear while I explained my unique financial situation, then he explained what financial assets I do have access to and what cost saving strategies I could utilize to maximize my dollar. They didn't rush my appointment at all and assured me that although I'm in a tough situation there was a way to pay for my last semester of school. I found the visit to the money management center to be very beneficial and it assisted me in making my financial decision for fall semester.

The mission of a university is to create and disseminate knowledge. As a cornerstone of Utah State University-with 18 undergraduateand nine graduate specialties-the College of Humanities and Social Sciences brings together faculty members engaged in original research and creative activities to teach and mentor students who aspire to be leaders in their professions and communities.

The college's programs give students opportunities to learn about the world, to learn about themselves and to gain new perspectives on their place in the world. The great challenges facing society today-and likely to face society in the future-will require multidisciplinary approaches. Such approaches are evident in the myriad of laboratories and centers for students and faculty to interact through engagement in creative scholarship including Utah Public Radio, the Mountain West Center for Regional Studies, the Museum of Anthropology,the Population Research Lab, and the Spatial Data Analysis and Visualization Lab, among others.

CHaSS students learn to address many of society's most challenging problems. They learn to develop arguments based on the critical analysis of a broad range of sources, and they practice communicating their ideas effectively-and respectfully-to others. These are skills in demand in a wide variety of careers, and they equip students to be leading members of society.
