Study Away Fair will share ways to learn while abroad

February 5, 2014

Cornerstone

UAF students can learn about hundreds of ways to study abroad during the spring 2014 Study Away Fair on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 10-11, in the Wood Center.

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days, UAF's Office of International Programs and Initiatives staff,  representatives of study abroad program providers and previous study-away students will answer any questions you have.

On Monday, following the fair, there will be an information session about experiential learning abroad. The session, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Wood Center's upstairs conference room C/D, will cover international internships, service learning, community engagement and field study opportunities.

While away, students can earn UAF academic credits that may apply to a degree program. Trips can range from a few weeks in the summer to a semester or two. While some programs require knowledge of a foreign language, many others are taught in English or offer beginning-level language courses.  Costs depend on the program and location. Most forms of financial aid can be used, and many scholarships are available.
