Why Study Abroad?
The experience of studying abroad may be the defining moment of your UNT education and can change your life. Your resume will stand out and you will develop international and cross-cultural interpersonal skills, expand your employment opportunities and, consequently, your income potential in our increasingly globalized society. Globally-minded employees are in high demand and many companies seek individuals with multi-lingual and multi-cultural experience and skills. You will also expand your network through interacting with fellow students, teachers, host families, and professionals.
You may believe you cannot afford to study abroad, but that is a misconception. You can spend a semester abroad or travel with other UNT students on a faculty-led program while paying just a bit more than UNT tuition and fees. And in most case, meals and cultural excursions are included in the cost of the program. Scholarships are available and your financial aid may apply.
