ANY WAYS to STUDY ABROAD Engineering is a global profession, so global experience matters. The School of Engineering provides several opportunities for you to study abroad as an engineering student while still allowing you to graduate on time. In addition, financial aid usually carries over to these study abroad programs, making them more affordable than you might think. SEMESTER ABROAD St. Thomas offers semester abroad programs in many countries around the globe, and the Office of Study Abroad will work with you to find a fit for your interests. In addition, the School of Engineering and the Office of Study Abroad have developed exchange opportunities in Australia and Egypt that incorporate transferable coursework for all engineering majors. SENIOR DESIGN CLINIC St. Thomas offers many ways to contribute to social innovation and sustainability. The School of Engineering offers summer programs in the countries of Jordan or Peru where you and a team of students can engage in social entrepreneurship in collaboration with local communities to complete your Senior Design Clinic. J-TERM OR SUMMER SESSION St. Thomas provides faculty-led study abroad options during J-Term and summer session. These shorter, focused courses provide experience in a different culture to learn more about global problems and solutions. Engineering in Rome is a regular option.
