Study Abroad Opportunities

Explore the world.

Students enrolled at Howard University will have the opportunity to participate in study abroad programs located all over the world. 

Students can choose to participate in shorter study abroad programs over the summer, or in longer programs over the course of an entire semester. 

External programs are particularly well suited for students interested in doing a full semester abroad during the Fall or Spring.
