For students who want to build their skills in a global context, there’s just no better way than thinking outside the borders. Study abroad programs pave the way for more than 2,000 students every year to experience a healthy mix of independence and collaboration, get exposed to diverse cultures and language, and gain understanding of global issues. Maryland offers more than 80 options, from studying conservation in Australia or business in the United Arab Emirates, to engaging in social entrepreneurship in Latin America or presenting research on a global stage. Costs, however, can halt students’ plans, so your support can get their global experience off the ground—and to their destination.
