Niagara University is committed to supporting students participating in relevant and meaningful international academic endeavors.It is appropriate that students from every academic major participate in a relevant international experience that will enhance the student’s academic goals.

Study Abroad is first and foremost an ACADEMIC experience.Studying Abroad provides students with much more than an international tourist experience, and thus, requires an appropriate level of academic effort by the student.

Because there are so many various Study Abroad options available to college students, it is our goal to assist students in finding a program that is relevant to the students’ individual academic goals and appropriate to the students’ individual characteristics.For example: one program in Spain may be more relevant for a Spanish Language major, while another program may be more relevant for a history of political science, or business major.One program in France may be more appropriate for a very independent, gregarious, urban, mature student, while another may be more appropriate for a student wanting to learn independence and intercultural interaction skills.
