What can a summer in Ecuador teach you about healthcare in underserved communities? What will you take away from filming a documentary on traditional embroidery in India?
瓜子TV emphasizes undergraduate research, and opportunities to pursue it are by no means limited to the United States. Along with more traditional study abroad programs, students from all disciplines have options for doing research or other creative projects abroad. Some academic departments sponsor international research, including faculty-led expeditions, and you can also work independently in a community setting.
Your work might become the basis for your senior comps, and it can also open the door to invaluable faculty mentorship. Your experiences abroad might even guide you toward your future career.
