Hi everyone, I'm a high schooler considering Union College for its study abroad programs. Can anyone share details about the most popular study abroad programs offered at Union College?
Union College is known for its engaged international studies programs and encourages its students to explore the world. While I can't provide specific enrollment figures for each program, I can tell you about a few of their flagship programs that students often find attractive.
1. The International Programs (IPs): One of the most popular options for studying abroad at Union College. Participating in an IP means that you'll spend a full academic term abroad, undertaking an intensive study of a particular topic, culture, or area.
2. The Minerva Programs: While not completely abroad, this unique program extends to multiple continents, engaging students in global themed topics. With houses situated across the globe, Union's residential Minerva Houses provide an array of culturally-rich experiences to students.
3. The Terms Abroad Programs: Union College has a variety of term-abroad programs where students can study in India, Japan, China, South Africa, and various countries in Europe to name a few.
4. Global Internships: Students prepare for the global workforce through specialized internships in areas such as economics, politics, arts, and technology. Past students have interned in places like London, Prague, and Sydney.
As always, availability and eligibility for specific programs can vary from year to year. It would be best to reach out to Union College's international programs office to get the most up-to-date information and advice about choosing the right study abroad program. They can also inform you about the application deadlines, requirements, and financial aid options. Always remember that regardless of the popularity of a program, you should choose a study abroad experience that aligns with your personal and academic goals. Considering these factors will ensure you have a rewarding and enriching experience.
