"Expand Your World, Enrich the Mind"
The Travel Abroad Program gives students the chance to explore culture through real world international experiences.
Through faculty‑guided instruction, cross‑cultural research, and service learning,
students build academic skills while immersing themselves in new cultures. Scholarship
opportunities such as the Gilman and Fulbright programs are also available to support
travel for (up to) a semester abroad. Any current GSU student in good academic standing
can apply. More specific information can be found at our travel abroad program website
