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
 in it. Students are given a wide choice of programs that will enhance their liberal arts education with a global perspective.

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.
