If you studied abroad and want to do something like that again, or if you did not make the time to study abroad but still want an international experience, you have options.

Fulbright grants

The US Student Fulbright Program supports more than 1200 US citizens in all fields of study annually for a year of study, research, teaching experience or professional training in the arts in more than 140 different countries.  The program is meant for recent BA/BS graduates, masters and doctoral candidates, young professionals and artists.  Click here (and scroll to the bottom of the page).

Go abroad as a graduate student

The international experiences that are open to Masters and Ph D students are usually quite different from undergraduate study abroad programs.  Graduate students have fewer international options, and their academic planning is more important and complicated.  But on the positive side, graduate students can sometimes go abroad for longer periods of time; their time abroad is often closely linked to their careers; and their experiences abroad are often “deeper” than those of undergraduates.  Read on. 

Work, Teach, Volunteer or Intern Abroad

Purdue offers information on all of these alternatives, some available to current students and others to post-graduates.  For more information on teaching English abroad, finding a permanent job overseas, or being a Peace Corps Volunteer, click here.
