Study Abroad

The Undergraduate Economics Program encourages students to consider enriching their undergraduate experience by studying abroad at some point during their undergraduate tenure. Studying abroad is widely defined as either study, work, internship, volunteer, and research opportunities abroad during your college career. Studying abroad provides students with not only more awareness of cultural literacies, but it further enhances their education by providing them with the opportunity to compare and contrast different economies and regimes.

Please consult the Study Abroad Office for more detailed descriptions of types of programs available and the mechanics of applying to a study abroad programs. Recall that as an undergraduate Economics student, you qualify for both Carnegie Mellon study abroad scholarships and study abroad scholarships available to H&SS students.

If you are interested in discussing how a study abroad opportunity would fit into your curriculum, please contact Dr. Goldburg. For your information, I've compiled a list of colleges and universities that the Economics and Finance faculty consider top-notch. Interested students should also contact Emily Half, the Study Abroad Advisor for Economics students.
