Crystal Native Experiences Norwegian University

HOUGHTON, MI (12/20/2012)(readMedia)-- Alice Flanders, a civil engineering student at Michigan Technological University from Crystal, recently returned from studying at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She has also received the National Distinction Scholarship at Michigan Tech, and fewer than 100 students from outside of Michigan were awarded the scholarship in 2012-13.

In Michigan Tech's Study Abroad program, students take university courses overseas and broaden their perspectives in several ways. They grow personally, through an exposure to new cultures and places; academically, through access to courses not available at Michigan Tech and from different perspectives on topics taught at Michigan Tech; and professionally, as companies often hire students who have traveled and studied abroad.

Michigan Technological University (mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 130 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.
