Education Abroad NSE

Students can enhance their experience
at Nebraska by participating in a study,

internship, research, or service
learning program abroad.

These experiences provide opportunities
to branch out and learn about different

places, cultures, and people.
The knowledge, communication,

and problem-solving skills learned
abroad can strengthen you personally and

professionally and prepare you for life
after college. With many unique programs

in over 70 countries,

you can find the perfect fit for your
academic, personal and professional goals,

as well as your budget. Programs
are available for all academic

majors. Here's just a few examples of the
hundreds of opportunities available to

Nebraska students. Engineering students
can spend a semester studying at Nanyang

Technological University in Singapore.

One option for students studying art and
design is a short term summer program

learning about Japanese visual culture
and Kyoto and Tokyo. International

internships are also available for
a variety of professional fields.

There are a variety of different lengths
and times of the year that students go

abroad. Programs can last for a few
weeks during winter or spring break,

a summer session, one semester,
or one academic year.

Students can determine what will
be the best options for them.

Students earn credit through all
of our education abroad programs.

Students earn credit in one of two ways,

either through taking a UNL course on a
program led by a Nebraska faculty member

or going abroad through one of our
partner universities or study centers and

transferring credit back to Nebraska.

We encourage students to start planning
early and work with their academic

advisors to build education
abroad into their academic plan.

Students do not need to know another
language other than English to participate

in a program abroad. Most programs do not
require knowledge of another language

and the majority of classes

internships, and research opportunities
are conducted in English.

On the flip side,

there are a large variety of language
programs available to students at all

academic levels. Program
costs vary based on location,

duration of time, and
program type. Many students,

combine funding from several
sources, including scholarships,

financial aid, loans, personal savings,

and fundraising to pay for their expenses.
There is a program for every budget.

Students can participate in programs
abroad anytime after their first semester.

It's never too early to get started.

Students should begin preparing for
their experience abroad anywhere from six

months to a year in advance.

The first step is to attend a
Huskers Abroad 101 session.

This presentation will cover
researching program options,

selecting a program and the
timeline for the process.

After attending this session,

students can meet one-on-one with
an education abroad advisor. For more

and we look forward to
meeting you in the fall.
