A Life Transforming Journey

Study Abroad is a life changing educational journey which is known to give a fresh and unique perspective on the United States and the world.  By living and studying in another country students learn about different cultures while expanding their horizons and opening their minds. 

Studying abroad brings students in direct contact with diverse peoples and viewpoints, and will expose them to ways of life different from the ones to which they are accustomed.  In addition, study abroad will provide an opportunity to establish lifetime friendships.

Metropolitan State's Center for Community-Based Learning (CCBL) is the university resource for students interested in study abroad or any global experience. The CCBL provides assistance, referrals, and information on study abroad opportunities.  If you are interested in study abroad, stop by the CCBL or visit the following links at MnSCU and other higher education institutions and organizations that accept students from other colleges and universities to participate in their global opportunities.  For Study Abroad Financial Aid information, click here.
