The Department of Consumer, Apparel, and Retail Studies strongly encourages students to take advantage of study abroad opportunities by participating in the student exchange program offered by the International Program Center, and/or participating in the short term study abroad opportunities offered by the CARS department.

Short-term study trips are planned by CARS faculty and generally focus on concentrated study in a particular country. These trips are offered for credit and vary in cost. Trips are planned and announced approximately one year in advance so that students may have time to arrange for funding the cost of the trip.
