Study Abroad Edgewood College strongly encourages its students to study abroad. Experiencing another culture firsthand is a unique opportunity for students to learn about the world and their place

The Center staff is available to advise and assist students at all stages of the study abroad experience, from identifying and choosing a suitable program to negotiating the application process; from providing an orientation program for students about to depart the United States to helping returned students use their international experience to bring a global dimension to campus.
