Graduate Study & Research Abroad

Studies show that employers value international experience and view time abroad as a platform to develop valuable global competency skills like tolerance, cross-cultural communication and adaptability. Companies that operate over international boundaries especially favor an ability to connect with different cultures and help them expand their global reach.

The Graduate School at Hood College partners with Hood College academic departments to offer study/research abroad opportunities that will enhance its graduate students’ education and complement its program’s curricular goals.

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 scholarships to provide financial support for students considering semester-long and short-term experiences.
