Study Abroad for Mathematics and CIT Majors

Explore the world and earn college credits all at once.

Prepare to spend a semester studying abroad and immerse yourself in another culture, while earning credits toward your major.

The Office of Global Studies has connected Mathematics and Computer Information Technology majors with study abroad programs in such places as Budapest, England, Ireland, New Zealand and Scotland.

Students not sure about spending an entire semester abroad also have the opportunity to attend a shorter faculty-led trip. Past destinations for these one or two-week trips have included Poland and Ireland. 

Plan early for greater options in regard to locations and courses. Schedule an appointment now by emailing [email protected].
