Considerations for NAU students

Why go abroad?

Hundreds of thousands of students from U.S. universities choose to study abroad every year. Think about the following:

  • Study abroad is an opportunity to see the world and discover different cultures.
  • You’ll remember this adventure for the rest of your life.
  • Going abroad is affordable—it can cost the same as staying at NAU, you can use financial aid, and we have many scholarships available.
  • Study abroad can provide a richer understanding of your major. Classes taken abroad can count towards your graduation requirements.
  • Build your resume.

Students who have taken the opportunity to study abroad share their stories.
