Why study abroad?
Study abroad programs provide the opportunity to strengthen fluency in other languages, enhance knowledge of global relations and deepen the understanding of cultural and societal differences and similarities. 

Several majors require an international experience.  Students majoring in international relations, international business, European studies or a modern language are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester abroad.  But students from any major may study abroad.  Imagine spring break on the French Rivera or hiking in the Alps.

Study abroad students at Canisius meet with the Director of International Student Programs to discuss their needs and goals for the semester overseas.  The Director works with Canisius study abroad alumni, the Office of Student Records and the Financial Aid Office to help the student select the most appropriate program by matching academic and cultural interests.  Students also undergo a pre-departure orientation to help them prepare for the experience and a re-entry session upon their return.
