Study and Research Abroad

Program Description
Study Abroad programs promote international educational opportunities that complement core curriculum, promote better understanding of people, and provide unique opportunities for field research in a student’s major.
Study Abroad programs can range in duration of time from short term trips, involving a few days over spring break, to long term trips, spanning a semester or year abroad in a host country! Whatever the duration of time, Study Abroad programs have been found to offer students benefits such as enriched academic studies, hands on field experience, superior social and professional development, lasting friendships and professional networks, and first-hand insights into the global market.
The LSAMP program understands the multiplied benefits of study abroad to students. To encourage and support such opportunities, LSAMP has made available to students the study and research abroad scholarship.
