ABROAD
Travel and study at the same time

Ever want to see London? How about Barcelona, Spain, or Florence, Italy?

What would you say if you found out that you could go to all these places — and many others — for cheaper right now than at any other time in your life (barring any free trips you win on some game show or something), and get credit hours while you’re at it?

TCU’s international education program offers a number of study abroad opportunities. Students can take classes in nearly any field of study in locales across South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.

TCU ranks among the top 10 doctoral universities in the nation in terms of the percentage of students studying abroad.

Anyone interested in seeing any of these exotic places (and really, who wouldn’t like to see at least one of those someday?) should at least check out these programs.

You don’t even have to worry about speaking a foreign language if that is a problem. You can go to a place like London for an entire semester and either take some really fun classes from British professors or apply for an internship in your field of study.

There are always some basic problems studying abroad — most specifically cost and course credits. Just tuition, programming fees and housing for the TCU London Centre cost $13,000. TCU offers financial aid for studying abroad and there are scholarships and loans for the same purpose. If you sit down with your adviser and program coordinators, you can probably find a program and classes that fit your needs.

Studying abroad is exhilarating, and can offer more eye-opening experiences than you have ever had in your life.
