We highly encourage our technical writing & communication majors to consider studying abroad for a portion of their undergraduate studies.
Study abroad offers students rewarding cultural and educational experiences and can enhance their understanding of global contexts for technical communication. Technical communication increasingly involves intercultural tasks such as translation of documentation and virtual teamwork involving collaboration across the globe. The cultural experience that students gain through study abroad can help sharpen student sensitivities to language and perception in other cultures.
Getting Started
- Attend a First Step Session with the Learning Abroad Center. You will learn how to research program options, get started with academic planning, and look into finances for study abroad, including financial aid and scholarships.
- Select a study abroad program. Find suggested programs on the Learning Abroad in Technical Writing & Communication page.
- The courses you take abroad may count towards WRIT course credit or sub plan course credit. Complete the Learning Abroad Center’s Academic Planning Form then meet with Jane Carlson, the Technical Writing & Communication Study Abroad Advisor, to review your requests and receive course approval.
“My favorite part about studying abroad was how much I learned about myself while I was there.”
