Search by Subject


As you conduct your research on study abroad programs, one way to narrow them down is to think about the kinds of academic subjects that you hope to study abroad and then to find out which of our affiliated programs specialize in those subjects. We have tried to help you with this latter task by creating the documents listed on the left navigation bar. Please click on the links of the subjects that interest you.

We are always in the process of creating even more of these documents on other subjects. For now, if you are interested in a subject that is not listed, you have two options, and we encourage you to do both.
  1. Make an appointment to meet with a study abroad adviser, who may be able to advise you on which programs would best meet your needs. You can do this by emailing the Study Abroad Office.

  2. Use the study abroad search engines listed below to identify programs. Keep in mind, though, that many of the programs that these searches bring up will not be Northwestern affiliated programs. (To view our affiliated list, click here.) If you become interested in an unaffiliated program, please carefully review our policies and procedures for applying to an unaffiliated program.

Study Abroad Search Engines
The best resources for researching study abroad programs in general (not just Northwestern-affiliated programs) are the comprehensive study abroad program books, Academic Year Abroad and Peterson's Guide to Study Abroad, as well as the various study abroad program search engines on the Internet. The books are available in the Study Abroad Office Resource Library, which is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm. The Internet search engines are as follows:

Institute of International Education
Peterson's Education Center
University of Minnesota Learning Abroad Center
