Study Abroad
Contrary to popular belief, engineering students can study abroad—it just requires a little extra planning!
Engineering students may study abroad in their junior year, during the summer, or in the first semester of their senior year.
Because of the academic requirements, it is suggested that the planning process for study abroad should begin early—even as soon as freshman year.
