Whether it’s for a few weeks, a semester, or a full year, students can find the international experience best for them. Studying, researching, interning, and/or volunteering abroad is an integral part of the University of Rochester undergraduate curriculum. It offers a transformative experience that not only enhances academic and professional skills but also broadens perspectives and enriches the lives of our students and the UR community.
