Undergraduate Study Abroad
Each year, more than 800 St Thomas undergraduate students study abroad: business in London, Spanish in Argentina or engineering in Greenland just to name a few.
With more than 40 countries where St. Thomas sponsors study abroad, it's not a question of IF, it's a question of WHEN.
Whether you choose a
short-term program, or a
semester/year option, the International Education Center staff is ready to help you find the best fall, full-year, January-Term, spring, or summer study abroad program for you. Come to a
First Step session to begin your adventure!
