Study Abroad

Studying or working abroad are excellent ways to enhance your education, develop new cultural perspectives, and refine your interpersonal skills. Columbia Engineering students collaborate and exchange ideas in the world’s leading centers of industry, technology, and innovation and bring engineering expertise to remote areas.

Study Abroad Basics


You can choose from multiple study abroad options that will enhance your education and career preparation. Learn about eligibility requirements, academic credit for study abroad programs, and general program basics in the Bulletin

 

Get Started


Meet with an advisor in the Center for Undergraduate Global Engagement who can help you select the right study abroad program. Your advisor will also connect you with students who participated in programs you are interested in, so you’ll have a personal resource for insight in what to expect.

Deadlines


Plan your study abroad experience as early as possible and keep track of these important deadlines.

 

Internships Abroad


Gain and refine transferrable skills and make valuable networking contacts when you opt for an international internship as part of your Columbia Engineering education. Learn about application requirements and deadlines.

 

Explore Costs & Funding


Many times, studying abroad costs the same as staying at Columbia. Aid for Columbia Engineering students transfers to any Columbia-approved study abroad program during the academic year. Most students receive financial aid, though the amount and type of support depends on a variety of factors. With careful planning and research, you should be able to afford a study abroad experience while at Columbia. Learn more about cost considerations.
