Why here and not abroad?

Here are just a few reasons to study abroad...
“This was a great program overall. It made me enjoy writing again, and if every class was like this, I’d never leave college…” Texas State in Ireland.

“This was the best experience of my life, and I’m glad that I will be able to share it with others. My fellow classmates have now become part of my life.” Texas State in Yucatan (Mexico).

“I had many great experiences in Spain. My family treated me wonderfully. Traveling every weekend was a very good learning experience…” Texas State in Spain.

In studying abroad, students develop an appreciation for other cultures, as well as a clearer understanding of their own. Texas State offers a variety of study abroad programs at locations throughout the world. Students may apply credit earned in study abroad programs toward a degree at Texas State. Some programs involve direct enrollment in an institution abroad, while Texas State faculty lead others. Explore our Web site to learn more about study abroad. Programs have a limited number of spaces available and require considerable planning, so once you have decided to embark on a study abroad program, contact the Office of Study Abroad Programs as soon as possible.
