Study Abroad
The Department of Communication Studies
(CST) participates in study abroad opportunities organized through the
International Programs Center (IPC).
Communication Studies majors generally
study abroad in the junior or senior year to earn credit in the major at the
upper level of coursework. Other credit
in general education or a minor area of study is also possible. Popular places to study include Sweden, Australia,
Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand,
Northern Ireland, South Korea with new opportunities opening as international
programs at UNCG continue to develop.
See our study abroad brochure
.
If you wish to study during the summer
in France or Spain to achieve credit for your general education foreign
language requirement, contact the Department of Languages, Literatures, and
Cultures.
