Many majors, departments, and academic programs at Case Western Reserve University have identified study abroad opportunities that fit well within degree requirements. Some departments have developed four-year plans that incorporate a semester abroad, others have developed faculty-led study abroad programs, and still others have identified partner institutions with pre-approved courses to simplify credit transfer.
These recommendations are a great place to start, but they are not your only options. Many study abroad programs are available worldwide. Meet with a study abroad advisor to explore the programs that best fit your academic, professional and personal goals.
