Pursuing research abroad gives you the opportunity to investigate real-world challenges while living and learning in global communities. With support from faculty mentors and funded research opportunities, you will move beyond theory and build knowledge through experience, exploration, and connection.
Whether you're conducting fieldwork abroad, partnering with local communities, or pursuing an independent project, research transforms learning from something you read about into something you do. Along the way, you'll learn how to ask better questions, navigate uncertainty, synthesize complex information, and turn ideas into action. These experiences build the confidence, independence, and global awareness that shape meaningful careers and meaningful lives.
Opportunities include the Richter Faculty-Led Research Abroad Program, the ASP Research Program, and the Young Initiative, which supports both international and domestic projects. Students can choose opportunities that align with their academic interests and future goals, including Richter-funded independent research embedded within a semester abroad and international projects through the Undergraduate Research Center's summer research program. Whether faculty-led or community-based, each experience begins with a thoughtful application process designed to match motivated students with opportunities where they can thrive.
