Study Abroad

Why you should consider studying abroad

  • To expand your understanding of the world.
  • To learn to appreciate cultures beyond your own.
  • To look at your own culture with a fresh perspective.
  • To increase your proficiency in another language.
  • To gain a new sense of self-confidence.
  • To strengthen your résumé, as many graduate schools and employers look favorably on international experience.

Simpson offers many opportunities for students to learn overseas whether it's during a three week May Term international travel course, a semester in a "Simpson Experience Abroad" or in a Simpson-affiliated program.
