study abroad question

<p>Anyone know if it is possible to go to study abroad for 3 semesters?</p>

<p>According to a lady running the study abroad booth at USC Orientation, it is only possible to study abroad for 2 semesters, though you may participate in the summer study abroad as many times as you like.</p>

<p>Here is a link to support Byzantine’s response:

Can I go abroad for more than one semester? Is there a maximum?
Yes! Many students choose this option. Some go to the same program for a full year to really immerse themselves deeply in their host country’s culture. Others go to two different locations to have two different experiences. While we encourage students to decide whether they want to go for a semester or year when they apply, most programs allow you to apply for a semester and then extend if you want to stay. You may study abroad for a maximum of two semesters on programs through our office.
