What are some schools with the best study abroad programs?

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm really into business and want many international experiences during college. All of the top schools basically say they have good programs for study abroad (or I'm actually interested in interning abroad during the summers), but out of those schools, which ones have international programs that are easy to get into AND ARE NOT super expensive? </p>

<p>Does anyone have information on NYU's programs? They are known for their international programs, but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford them to begin with.</p>

<p>Thanks so much :)</p>

<p>Starrwalker,
Why not explore SC's Global Scholars program? Southern California has many exciting programs with ties to Asia as it is a Pacific Rim university. It has had a long tradition of overseas study. They offer more than 40 programs in 27 countries. Here are a few of the more interesting programs: Aberystwyth, Wales, Edinburgh, Scotland, Yungburra, Australia, Kumsai, Ghana, Dunedin, New Zealand and British West Indies, Caicos Islands. In addition they have the more expected programs in Paris, London, Vienna Tokyo, Rome, Madrid and Athens as well as many other choices.
You will need to check with the university for costs, USC</a> - University of Southern California . Scholarships are available.</p>

<p>thanks i'll definitely look into it :D</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>I poked around on the US News and World Reports site. They have a list and rankings for everything.</p>

<p>They have a list Best Colleges: Most Students Studying Abroad. Why don't you take a look at the list to see if any of those college would be a good place for you? One thing to watch for though is what is considered "study abroad". Some colleges with a J-term will count that session as a study abroad even if the time spent away is 4 weeks rather than a semester. </p>

<p>Does anyone know if career development office can help with arranging internships abroad?</p>

<p>I know that Beloit College in Wisconsin is a pioneer in global studies and study abroad. It is semi well known, but has excellent academics, and over 50-60% of students study outside the US. There are many international students, and it has a number of international studies majors. It has programs in over 40 countries. Other good schools are St. Olaf and Grinnell. All these colleges will allow you to use any financial aid you have for study abroad.</p>

<p>Goucher College in Baltimore requires every student to study aboad and gives them $1300 (i think) to do this.</p>

<p>^ $1200, to be exact.</p>

<p>BC has a really strong study abroad program with their own programs in many countries and lots of approved external programs. seems like 3/4 of everyone that i ask IS going abroad but idk hte exact stat. and if you go through a BC program, you pay BC tuition while your there and they give you the same financial aid! so no extra costs (besides for travel and stuff). also, if BC doesnt give you enough aid (like me) you save money by going through an external program. by going externally im saving my parnets $10k in one semester</p>

<p>^what college? university of british columbia or bowdoin college or boston college?</p>

<p>BC generally refers to Boston College--the University of British Columbia is UBC and Bowdoin College is simply Bowdoin.</p>

<p>Study abroad is very popular here at Northwestern: Northwestern</a> University Study Abroad Office
You can take a look at the options on that website. I do believe, however, that most schools in the top 20 will probably have similar options so study abroad shouldn't be your basis of selection, in my opinion.</p>

<p>American. Not only are there are major study abroad programs (some of them fairly unique in the Middle East and Africa), as well as international internships, one-third of the business school faculty is from abroad.</p>

<p>The school that is usually ranked first in the country for international business is the University of South Carolina. USWNR has ranked them first for undergraduate international business for 12 years in a row, ahead of Wharton, Stern, Ross, etc. </p>

<p>Moore</a> School of Business - Moore School - Rankings</p>

<p>What's more important is that a school offers study abroad to the location that YOU want to go (and applies financial aid as well, if that matters to you).</p>

<p>Have you checked out the Study Abroad forum? You can reach it by clicking on "College Discussion" at the top left of this screen, and then scrolling down.</p>

<p>Pomona has 51 programs on 6 continents, very strong for a school with a student body of ~1600. About 60% of juniors this year are either abroad now or will be in the spring.</p>

<p>The better part is that no matter where you go, you pay Pomona's tuition (which if you're on finaid, is usually very reasonable). Pomona then sets up housing, travel stipends (a blessing in the world of ridiculously expensive airfare), and gives you a generous daily budget for food and drink. In the end, studying abroad costs about the same as living on campus.</p>
