"Scientific inquiry and industrial endeavors are inherently global in today's world. As a CSE graduate, you will work with colleagues from around the world regardless of your career path. By studying and researching abroad, you will grow personally and professionally while gaining skill sets desired by industry and graduate programs."
–Mos Kaveh, Dean, College of Science and Engineering
Consult with the CSE International Office and your academic advisor to determine the best time for you to go abroad.
The College of Science and Engineering has 19 majors. Click here for a full list of majors offered.
CSE has made special arrangements for students to earn technical credits at top engineering universities abroad through CSE Exchange Programs. Credit transfer is easy, and the cost is lower than similar semester programs.
Many CSE students look at comprehensive university study abroad programs or “Uni Study in” programs where they will have access to science and engineering coursework in English.
To help ensure access to international experiences, CSE offers technical seminars abroad. Every year, CSE faculty lead seminars abroad during breaks in our regular semester schedule--Winter Break, Spring Break, and May Session. Students can experience the world without necessarily being gone for an entire semester.
The Learning Abroad Center (LAC) also works with a variety of affiliate programs. If the program or university is not listed in this resource, consider using the LAC subject search for additional options.
