Studying abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your academic career.
In addition to fun and exciting travel, you will learn about other cultures, perhaps obtain proficiency in another language, gain invaluable experience in your field of study, develop confidence and self-sufficiency, and broaden your perspectives on the world and the United States. Study abroad through Hood College will help you to think globally by matching your interests and future goals to our many programs.
Let the Office of Study Abroad and the Center for Career Development and Experiential Education help you get started today! For more information, contact Dr. Scott Pincikowski, Director of Study Abroad at pincikowski@hood.edu or the Center for Career Development at careers@hood.edu
With careful planning, it is possible for students of any major to participate in a study abroad program. Gain a greater understanding of your academic field and the world around you.
The Study Abroad Office provides students with information and counseling on programs that fit their needs, application processes and funding opportunities. The staff also offers pre- and post-departure orientations for living abroad.
Hood College encourages students pursuing long-term studying abroad to do so during the spring semester of their junior year. All students intending to study abroad should complete the application materials at least one semester in advance of the proposed study. Students can participate in short-term study abroad after their freshman year and throughout academic experience.
Students preparing for a study abroad experience will want to carefully consider the timing of their trip within their academic program and also how to fund their experience. Alumni and donors to the College have generously created funding awards to provide financial support for students considering semester-long and short-term experiences. To learn more about these opportunities, contact Hood College's Director of Study Abroad, Dr. Scott Pincikowski at (301) 696-3475 or via email at pincikowski@hood.edu.
