Why Education Abroad?
Why Education Abroad?
Earn academic credit toward degree plan including residency hours: students are going abroad more than once, and graduating on time, while taking courses or pursuing intern, volunteer, or research opportunities that are not offered at Texas A&M University.
Enhance your skill set for your resume and boost your starting salary: various studies show that students who have pursued international opportunities find employment more regularly and earn higher salaries than their peers who stayed in the U.S. throughout college. (Source:

Join other Aggies: Texas A&M is committed to increasing student participation in high impact, international experiences challenging each college to set its own goals for participation. Over 5,500 Texas A&M students each year participate in an international experience.
