While traveling abroad is an amazing opportunity, there are plenty of places to see in our own nation. To help students explore the events and locations that make our country exciting, the Study Abroad Office also offers “study away” opportunities. These programs are led by UM faculty and usually last 2 to 3 weeks in the summer. Courses vary from term to term but routinely include science and family and consumer science credits. Departments select professors and courses to offer each term and all grades are based on an ABCDF scale. Check out this year’s opportunities to see where you can study in the United States.
Advantages: You can take 3 hours of credit in 3 weeks or 6 hours in 4 weeks while exploring your own country. Many of the programs offered will introduce you to experts in your field, giving you the opportunity to network while you travel.
