HOUGHTON, MI (02/18/2013)(readMedia)-- KJ Thekan, a biological sciences student at Michigan Technological University from Iron Mountain, is currently studying at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland.

Of her visit so far, Thekan says, "There is so much to see and do here. I'm meeting a lot of new people from all over the world. The Scottish locals are very nice and helpful. I plan to travel to Edinburgh, London, Stirling and more while I am here."

In Michigan Tech's Study Abroad program, students take university courses overseas and broaden their perspectives in several ways. They grow personally, through 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.
