As you absorb the history and social customs of another country, you’ll grow into an ambitious and critical thinker, engage with new ideas and connect with people and communities. Wherever you go, we'll support you to succeed in unique environments where you'll apply your learning, acquire professional skills and learn about yourself and others in the process.
We offer a growing list of study abroad experiences currently spanning 32 different countries. With semester-long programs as well as short-term faculty-led courses and service learning opportunities, students from all academic backgrounds and major areas of study can partake in and benefit from their time abroad.
All of our study abroad pathways emphasize solidarity, collaboration and engagement. Students can shape their experiences to align with their academic and career goals, ensuring that employers in every industry will recognize the high value of your international perspective and intercultural awareness.
The only question is, where will you go?
Spend a full semester studying at an international institution. Depending on the major, students may participate as early as the spring semester of their first year. Other placements are available from sophomore year through senior year.
Faculty members plan courses with a travel component to various countries during the January term, spring break and summer terms.
Engage with local communities and immerse yourself in cultural experiences to learn about different cultures. Hands-on experiences facilitate meaningful connections, transcend language barriers and foster friendships. These journeys inspire a commitment to global solidarity and sustainable development.
Engage with opportunities offered through our partner institutions and organizations. These programs are offered during the winter or summer breaks.
Integrate the knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in professional settings around the globe.
Directly exchange with students from international partners for either a semester or short-term period.
The Quinnipiac University in Budapest, Hungary program provides students of all majors the chance to live, work and learn as they study abroad in a foreign nation’s capital. Located in the heart of Central Europe, Budapest is a hub for international businesses and organizations that enable our students to complete internships or engage in research as part of an unforgettable resume-building experience.
Info sessions are about one hour long and are normally held at that start of each semester. The sessions contain necessary information of where you can study, when is the best time for you to go, financial structure and important policies and procedures. They are required to attend or watch recording before applying to go abroad.
Browse available programs and find the best fit for you. Once you have narrowed down your choices, plan to meet with your academic advisor to map out your course work to stay on track to graduate. If you need help finding programs, please email study.abroad@qu.edu.
