The Global Education Office at Arizona State University offers more than 350 different programs in more than 65 countries. ASU Online students can study abroad during any term on programs as long as one semester or as short as one week.
The experience of studying abroad positively impacts your life far beyond the duration of your program.
Through a hands-on, in-person study abroad experience, you’ll have the opportunity to develop a global perspective in your field of study, gain a sense of direction and purpose for your future career, and begin to build a network of professional contacts around the world. Study abroad programs are flexible, so you can plan a global experience around your schedule. Plus, any program offered through the Global Education Office provides ASU credits toward your degree.
Potential employers value the skills students can gain from study abroad experiences, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, flexibility, adaptability, confidence and intercultural competencies.
