Undergraduate Programs – Internships and Study Abroad
Study Abroad
Studying abroad could be the most memorable experience of your college career. Mastering a language, exploring new cultures, or traveling to the other side of the earth in another country can lead to immense personal growth. UMass Amherst sponsors programs on six continents, including places such as Australia, Taiwan, Scotland, South Africa, and Germany. Basically, you could study anywhere in the world. Information about opportunities for study abroad, including the Warwick Exchange Program offered through the Department of Political Science, may be obtained from the International Programs Office in 469 Hills South.
