Background: In an era of globalization, study abroad is no longer optional. International experience and language skills are increasingly valuable to employers in today’s global economy. In response, students are studying abroad in growing numbers. During the past decade, the number of U.S. students studying abroad each year has more than doubled. The University of Texas at Austin ranks third in the nation in the number of study abroad participants.

The College of Communication offers study abroad programs in China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Finland, Singapore and Spain. Additional information about the study abroad programs can be found online.
