Goodbye Texas! Adios! Arrivederci! Au Revoir! Destination: Somewhere in the World

Are you interested in getting credit for seeing the world? You can! There are multiple study abroad programs for computer science majors. The University of Texas at Austin has agreements with hundreds of colleges and universities around the world that allow you to take core classes abroad so that you can stay on track with your degree at home. Tuitions and living expenses abroad are comparable to what you’d pay if you stayed in Texas, and there are scholarships, fellowships and grants available to help you make the experience possible.

On your Mark

First, visit the UT Study Abroad office, located on the second floor in Wooldridge Hall (WHO). Call first to make an appointment with an advisor: 471-6490. They can give you all the details about programs in specific countries, costs and scholarships.

Get Set

Be mindful of the application deadlines:

• March 1st for fall or academic year programs
• October 1st for all spring semester programs
• February 15th for all summer programs
• November 1st for all Maymester Programs

Make an appointment with Tiffany Grady (tgrady [at] cs [dot] utexas [dot] edu) or (512) 471-9523 to discuss your program choices. It is important that your study abroad program offers classes that the CS department will count toward your degree. The earlier you meet with Tiffany, the more likely you will be able to find a place to go!

Fill out the study abroad application.

Go!

Get your passport, pack your bags, and tell your friends goodbye!
