Why Study Abroad?
Open your eyes to the world
Invest in your future by developing cross-cultural skills that will enable you to communicate with colleagues anywhere in the world.
Enhance your career
Learn how to function in a culturally diverse environment early on. Develop broader skills and the ability to adapt to new environments.
Personal growth
See your culture and yourself from a different perspective. Learn to appreciate other languages and cultures, while better understanding your own cultural values.
Did you know?
You do not need to speak another language to study abroad. Many programs offer courses in English.
Financial Aid
Financial aid counselors meet with students by appointment to discuss their specific study abroad plans and financial aid eligibility.
Scholarships
There are many scholarships and loans designed specifically for study abroad. We strongly encourage you to consider applying. Rochester students have won these scholarships or used this aid in the past.
Getting Credit
Not all courses taken abroad will satisfy the specific requirements of your psychology major or minor. It is highly encouraged that you check that your courses will meet requirements before you go abroad.
For major or departmental credit, see the transfer credit section of the advising page.
