Studying abroad gives Mississippi State students an invaluable opportunity to expand one's horizons and gain a new perspective on the world while being immersed in an exciting new culture. Students who study abroad develop intercultural communication and problem-solving skills that cannot be acquired at home.

Through study abroad, students strengthen their abilities to overcome challenges while living in a new culture and learning a new language. Students who study abroad have enhanced employment prospects because the value of one's degree increases as a result of their experience.

Weekly study abroad interest sessions will be held for students at MSU every Monday at 11 a.m. in Allen Hall, Room 611 and every Tuesday at 2 p.m. in Allen Hall, Room 611 this semester.
