International Studies
The Department of Engineering and Technology faculty believe that it is very important for students to explore opportunities for study in other countries. With a study abroad, you'll learn more about the world of other cultures while making progress toward your degree. Foreign study also offers you a global experience that is becoming increasingly important for employers.
Travel around the world
CMU encourages students to take advantage of more than 200 approved study abroad programs in more than 50 countries, including many programs in English-speaking settings.
International study allows you to gain global knowledge that is highly valued by employers. You'll also meet people from diverse cultures and develop a sense of independence and self-confidence.
Whether you're interested in going abroad for a few weeks or an entire year, CMU has a program tailored to your goals and budget. CMU scholarships for study abroad are available, including a College of Science and Technology Study Abroad Scholarship. Programs are offered in countries such as Australia, Chile, China, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
