Welcome: International Academic Programs
There are as many goals for international study as there are students, but some common themes emerge:
Why Study Abroad: Enrichment
Expand, complement and enrich your undergraduate education: improvement of language skills / language proficiency; research for senior thesis or other academic project; new perspective on college major; the opportunity to take academic courses not available at Haverford. Start Planning >
Why Study Abroad: Global Engagement
- Immersion in another culture.
- Cross cultural competence and understanding.
Why Study Abroad: Personal Growth & Development
