Education Away/ Study Abroad

Education Away/ Study Abroad courses include education that occurs outside the participant’s home country/state. Besides study abroad, examples include such international experiences as work, volunteering, internships, and directed travel, as long as these programs are driven to a significant degree by learning goals.
