As a Statistics student, you can:

• Explore courses that can count towards your major or minor as core requirements, related courses, and electives.
• Participate in hands-on learning activities as part of a course, including research abroad, or through extracurricular activities.
• Enrich your academic experience by participating in classroom discussions abroad with diverse student populations.
• Select a faculty-led, exchange, affiliated or short-term program option.
• Develop international contacts to benefit your professional career.

When planning an experience abroad, be sure to keep in mind your electives, any extra credits you may be able to use to your advantage, as well as current and upcoming terms in your course of study. For students who have a strict course sequence to follow each semester, a summer or winter program might be a good option.
