It's Easy to Study Abroad
The College of Liberal Arts offers a variety of managed study abroad programs that are administered by College faculty and the College of Liberal Arts Center for Study Abroad. These programs are perfect opportunities to experience and learn about a different culture, to challenge yourself, and, in non-English-speaking countries, to increase your proficiency in a foreign language.
Because the College administers these programs, registration, finances, and logistics are much easier for students than they would be for programs administered by other schools or institutions. Here are some of the financial benefits:
- eligible for federal financial in the semester- and year-long programs
- guaranteed 16 credits in the semester-long programs so you stay on track with your credits
- pay UNH tuition as you normally would
- most UNH student fees are waived
- each program has a single “program fee” which covers housing, excursions, and, in most cases, board
The College of Liberal Arts Center for Study Abroad is located in 116 Murkland Hall. To learn more about any of the following programs, visit the Center or contact Lisa Mulvey, College of Liberal Arts Study Abroad Coordinator, cola.studyabroad@unh.edu or lisa.mulvey@unh.edu, (603) 862-3962.
