Study Where Your Chosen Language Is Spoken

Croft students spend at least one semester abroad in a country connected to their language study and regional concentration. There, they take courses in the language they are learning alongside local students, building the academic confidence and cultural understanding that come from studying a region from within it.

Engage Directly With Global Systems

Study abroad gives Croft students a closer view of the institutions, histories, economies, and social dynamics they study on campus. As they follow local news, navigate daily life, use another currency, and learn from the people and places around them, students see how global systems shape real communities, decisions, and opportunities.

Learn Beyond the Classroom

Study abroad asks Croft students to apply their preparation in real time. As they move through classes, conversations, travel, and daily responsibilities in another country, they build independence, adaptability, and the confidence to learn in unfamiliar settings.

Some students also pursue internships abroad, extending their learning into professional and community settings where language, independence, and cultural understanding matter every day.

Choose a Place That Fits Your Path

Croft students prepare for study abroad with advisors who understand the program’s requirements and the questions families bring to the process. Together, they choose from universities and programs that have been carefully researched, reviewed, and visited by faculty, helping students find a setting that supports their language study, coursework, and long-term goals.

Global Experiences That Shape Your Future

Croft students often come home from study abroad with more than new perspectives. They return with stronger language skills, clearer academic interests, and experiences that help shape what they do next. For some, that means a senior thesis rooted in fieldwork abroad. For others, it means an internship, a national scholarship, graduate study, public service, or a career path shaped by the places and people they came to understand more deeply.
