Studying abroad gives social work majors the unique opportunity to see human diversity and the diversity of lifestyle on a personal level; understanding another cultural perspective can help a future social worker to analyze specific behaviors and interpret and make comparisons between social institutions. Immersion in another culture can give social work students a deeper educational background on identity, lifestyle, and behavior in order to empower people and affect change at personal and societal levels.

See the list of recommended study abroad programs below.  Please be aware that for any external or exchange study abroad programs listed, students will need to check with their academic department to see if courses taken while abroad will transfer and fulfill needed requirements.
