Programs
Study, intern, or volunteer abroad as a
philosophy major or minor! See the chart
below to learn when you may go abroad at
the most optimal time for your academic
program.
Study Abroad
An international experience can be affordable!
Most philosophy students are eligible for federal
financial aid, and many scholarships are readily
available. Some opportunities include, but are
not limited to:
Enroll in coursework abroad that transfers back to your major or minor
requirements. Programs often have their own criteria, such as a higher GPA or a
language requirement, so you should read each program’s terms carefully.
Proficiency in another language is often unnecessary, so you could study in English,
even in non-English speaking places.
Federal Financial Aid
Intern Abroad
Faculty-Led Scholarship
Consider an internship abroad to strengthen your resume! Companies value
intercultural skills and the ability to speak another language. Internships abroad
often are voluntary rather than paid, but financial aid and scholarships may help
defray costs if you earn credit.
Give back to the world! Teach English in China, assist a women’s shelter in Morocco,
or help preserve native species in Costa Rica through a service-learning program.
