Students at Northwestern see study abroad as a key to understanding the world. An increasing number of undergraduate students spend a quarter or more in a foreign country — often during their junior year — either as a part of their major or as a supplement to their main academic goals. International experiences are key aspects of programs across campus, from the anthropology field study to the Global Healthcare Technologies Program.
