With more than 40 programs in over 20 countries, Study Abroad at Colorado State offers all those opportunities and more, like internships in Ireland and ecotourism in the Bahamas.

Preparation for an Increasingly Global Business World

At CSU, we believe that a study abroad experience provides great opportunities for our students to learn about the world, gain new perspectives on their academics and obtain skills for the global workforce. Whether studying art, sciences, business, or engineering, our graduates may be required to work abroad at one time or another, work in a multinational corporation or organization, or work in multicultural team - globalization is a reality and our graduates must be prepared to function in a global society.

Scholarships Make Study Abroad a Reality

Scholarships can make the difference in student experiences while attending Colorado State and for Lane Brugman, a junior in construction management and Spanish, the Office of International Programs Undergraduate Study Abroad Scholarship helped fund his Spring 2012 experience in Vietnam. during the spring of 2012. He was a recipient of the Office of International Programs Undergraduate Study Abroad Scholarship, which helped fund his experience.

"The experiences I had while abroad, the people I met and the perspective I gained would never have occurred if I had not made the decision to get on a plane bound for Asia," said Brugman. "One of the reasons I was able to study abroad was the financial support that I received from CSU."
