Message from the Office of International Affairs about Study Abroad Programs

Published: Oct. 2, 2023

When you encourage a student to apply to a CU Denver study abroad program, you’re making a significant impact on expanding their academic and future global career horizons. 

Returning students report their study abroad experiences as being “life-changing” in improving their critical thinking and organizational skills, deepening their understanding of subject matter, and expanding awareness of their roles as global citizens. They also report learning about programs such as Semester in Beijing through an academic advisor, faculty, or another valued staff member. The doors are open again for this program in Spring 2024 and your help is vital. Generous scholarships for this program are available. 

You Deserve a Thank You

We appreciate your efforts in helping to bring a meaningful study abroad experience within reach for every student. 

In thanks, and to add to the fun, the Office of International Affairs is offering:
