Studying abroad enables students to diversify their educational experience and become more marketable in a global economy.  For business students the best opportunities to study abroad exist during the sophomore and junior years while completing the general education core, business core, or any free electives.  For more information on all opportunities and the process of gaining approval to study abroad, please consult with the Office of Correspondence, Extension, and Study Abroad.  It is imperative that business students consult with their advisor early on in their time at Texas State if they are interested in study abroad. 

Tips for Planning to Studying Abroad:

• Start saving money early
• Look into University scholarships (Office of Correspondence, Extension, and Study Abroad)
• Don't wait until senior year

Study Abroad vs. International Student Exchange: Study Abroad represents an opportunity to have a structured, safe, and simple educational experience abroad.  Study abroad programs are often led by Texas State faculty members and the courses are generally taught in English. International Student Exchange represents a longer and less structured international educational experience.  Exchange programs may take place over an entire semester or academic year where the student is actually enrolled at a foreign college or university. For a list of exchange programs please visit the Study Abroad web page at http://www.studyanywhere.txstate.edu/sa_program_offerings (scroll to the bottom of the web page to see the exchange program offerings).

Please note that due to the nature of international travel, all opportunities are subject to change at any time.
