Study Abroad
Study Abroad programs are organized by international education organizations, otherwise known as “program providers.” Program providers can be affiliated with a regular college or university, or they can be separate non-profit organizations. These providers work with academic institutions in the U.S. and abroad to create study opportunities that vary in duration from a summer, semester, or year in length.

CHOOSING A PROGRAM
When it comes time to decide which study abroad program you want to participate in, the options can be a bit daunting. However, since your time abroad has the potential to be a life-changing experience, it deserves a great deal of thought.
Providence College strongly encourages—and in some cases requires—students to participate in a study abroad program that complements and strengthens their major. Furthermore, integrating your study abroad program into your PC degree helps to ensure that you graduate on time!
