Study Abroad with the SUNY System: State University of New York currently offers 291 overseas study programs in over 51 different countries: in North and South America, Africa, Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, Australia and New Zealand. These programs range from 2-3 week intensive courses to an entire semester or academic year abroad. Courses are available in over 100 subjects, ranging alphabetically from aboriginal studies and aerospace engineering to western philosophy and women's studies. While many programs focus on language learning and are conducted in the language of the host country, many others are conducted wholly or partly in English.
Curriculum Highlights: State University overseas study programs are, with some exceptions, open to all SUNY and non-SUNY students, with eligibility ranging from first year to graduate level. For many undergraduates, the best time to study abroad has traditionally been during the junior year; however, well-prepared sophomores, and, in a few cases, freshmen are eligible for some pro grams. For everyone, careful preparation and consultation with the campus Director of International Education are essential for determining where and when to go.
Program Value: Students learn well and mature quickly when studying in a different culture. And as all regions of the world become more interdependent, it is increasingly apparent that the truly educated person is one who has had first hand acquaintance with other cultures, both as preparation for responsible citizenship and, in a more practical way, as a basis for a career. In the words of former Senator J.. William Fulbright, author of the Fulbright exchange program, "perhaps the greatest power of educational exchange is the power to convert nations into peoples and to translate ideologies into human aspirations.
