Study Abroad at Drake

Study abroad programs provide opportunities for learning that are critical to the education of American college students and, over the long term, to the ability of the United States to lead responsibly, collaborate abroad and compete effectively in a global arena. (NAFSA, 2007)

With study abroad becoming increasingly popular, there are literally thousands of study abroad programs available in almost every habitable nook and cranny of the world.  With this extensive variety of choices, how are students able to decide on a program that’s right for them?

In order to ensure manageability of choices, quality of advising and overall familiarity with programming details such as orientation, housing, academics, etc., Drake works with select accredited international institutions and reputable study abroad organizations to provide over 500 study abroad opportunities in over 70 different countries. Students can choose to study abroad for a semester, academic year, summer or January term.
