I’ve learned that family is very important, naps are always needed, and that I like more foods than I originally thought. I have also learned better ways to conserve energy and water, how to open a door in Spain (after three weeks of constant struggle,) and how to play “La Rueda de la Fortuna.

Five Ways to Engage Globally as an Undergraduate Student
1. Participate in the semester-long study abroad programs
Be one of the more than 200 students who study at NC State Prague each year. You can participate in the semester-long Fall or Spring Classic Programs, where you take at least 12 NC State credits. An immersive survival language course, cultural excursions, in-country and out-of-country excursions are also part of the program. Enjoy the rich culture and history that Prague has to offer while growing intellectually!
Lorenzo de Medici Institute in Italy offers one of the largest and most diverse course catalog for semester programs. You can fulfill GEP requirements. Enjoy exploring Italy and its rich cultural heritage while you work toward your degree!
While these programs are highlighted to fit College of Educations students’ academic needs, you are encouraged to explore and participate in other programs offered at NC State. Speak to your academic advisor about your study abroad intentions early in your program and save flexible courses that you can take abroad.
Watch this video about how to fund your study abroad. Utilize available resources to understand costs and compare cost of living and studying abroad to studying at NC State and living in Raleigh.
If you have questions about how to fund your study abroad experience and how to benefit from different sources of financial aid and scholarships, participate in one of the funding sessions offered by the Study Abroad Office.
You can enroll in one of these globally focused courses based on your interests, gain broader social, cultural, and political perspectives to solve global problems, and take action in your local and global communities.
5. Connect with the international community @NC State and in the greater Raleigh area
Engaging with the international community can expand your knowledge and awareness about the world around us. You can build cross-cultural friendships and professional networks while learning about different cultures and countries.
