Study abroad

It is not much of an exaggeration to say that Northwestern offers students the world. With programs everywhere from Argentina to Zimbabwe, the Study Abroad Office has students covered from A to Z.

The University's Study Abroad Office coordinates over 100 different programs on six of the seven continents, ranging from summer to full-year courses of study. Around 500 students each year take advantage of this exciting opportunity to experience one of almost 50 countries. If summer is the best time for you to study abroad, Northwestern offers its own Summer Study Abroad Programs in 10 different locations around the world.
