<p>hey i have a question about studying abroad. are umd's study abroad options good? i know that the sapphire program at psu let's u study abroad soph year, but are maryland's options just as good?</p>
<p>as a business major, are there any specific study abroad programs?</p>
<p>also, can you study abroad during the summer, and are there a lot of summer study abroad opportunities?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>UMD has great study abroad program options (semester, year, summer (plenty!), and also winter terms), plus a very very helpful staff who will help you find another program if UMD doesn't have what you're looking for.</p>
<p>i am going to granada, spain for 6 weeks this summer with an outside company that UMD helped me find.</p>
<p>the website is very helpful: <a href="http://www.intprog.umd.edu/sparkplug/sites/studyabroad/%5B/url%5D">http://www.intprog.umd.edu/sparkplug/sites/studyabroad/</a></p>
<p>as far as business, the smith school has a couple of exchange programs, but it doesn't have it's own study abroad office or anything. certain study abroad programs have focuses in economics or business. the business honors program spends time in china each year, i believe. </p>
<p>study abroad is not "built into" the curriculum anywhere like it is with the sapphire program at PSU.</p>
<p>once again, lindz comes to the rescue hahah...thanks for allllll the info! the site is really helpful...and since i'm chinese, that business honors program trip to china sounds pretty appealing :)</p>
<p>:D super lindz to save the day</p>
