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.
