There are many different education abroad programs available to you through Binghamton University and the SUNY system. It is important to consider your goals and priorities in selecting a program. IEGI has collaborated with various departments to develop major-specific resources for students, and we are working on adding more.
Students of all majors are encouraged to use our Advanced Program Search, which allows you to identify programs that offer courses in a particular area of study. If you do not see your major or area of interest, contact IEGI at iegi@binghamton.edu to learn more about the program options available based on your academics and goals for studying abroad.
Note: Students are NOT limited to taking courses in their major or minor while studying abroad. Depending on your major and academic plan, you may consider taking General Education courses, elective courses, and/or participate in a program with an internship, service learning, or research opportunity. You may also consider a short-term program that takes place in the summer, winter term, or spring break.
