About UD Study Abroad

In 1923, UD founded what is considered the first study abroad program by a U.S. institution. Today, over 30% of UD undergrads study abroad at least once, and some as early as freshman year!

Students can choose from semester-long programs in Fall and Spring, and shorter programs during Winter and Summer session, most of which are led by UD faculty. While abroad, students take a full load of academic credits, may engage in internships or community service, and sharpen language and intercultural skills.

To begin your own study abroad experience, learn about upcoming programs on the Institute for Global Studies website.
