Since the 1970s, the University of Arizona has promoted study abroad and international exchange as a vital link in education. Study abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity whose benefits go far beyond academic learning. The opportunity can add significant dimensions to undergraduate and graduate study by enabling students to develop broader perspectives on their academic field of study and an ability to develop skills in cross-cultural communication and critical thinking applicable to everyday life. The University of Arizona is a national leader in providing low-cost, high-quality study abroad programs, offering semester, academic year, summer, and winter break programs in over 40 countries throughout the world. Our offerings vary in structure from individually arranged programs and student exchanges to faculty-led programs. The UA Faculty Advisory Committee supports the development and coordination of our international programming, creating a dynamic combination of centralized and de-centralized management. This assures the highest standard of quality control and cross-fertilization among our international programs. We hope that as you study, live, travel, and meet
new people abroad, you will experience the same satisfaction that earlier
students have gained from pursuing their international endeavors. Best wishes
from the Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange for a productive and
fulfilling experience! Sincerely, David Wright, Director |
