Every year, more than 10 percent of cadets pursue an international learning experience. 

By combining an intellectual quest with firsthand exposure to different cultural traditions, cadets gain a global perspective and acquire important life skills—critical thinking, independence, flexibility, resilience, and the ability to interact and communicate across differences. Cadets often describe their education abroad experiences as extremely rewarding and life-changing.

Cadets have three options when it comes to studying abroad:

• Semester - fall or spring experiences where cadets are immersed in foreign countries for all coursework
• Summer - experiences occurring between May and August
• Furlough - shorter journeys conducted over periods of furlough throughout the academic year (administered by specific academic departments). For additional information or if interested, please ask the study abroad advisor.
