Study Abroad

Study abroad information

We work closely with the Office of International Education and Global Initiatives (IEGI) and advise our students to do so too. Students can study abroad through Binghamton, other-SUNY schools, and non-SUNY programs. Students receive Binghamton credit from Binghamton programs and transfer credit from non-Binghamton programs. 

The IEGI can answer questions about funding for education abroad, where to find scholarships and how to apply for them, cost effective program options (exchange programs), and how to pick a program that would be compatible with your financial aid package.

Interested students must meet with the Romance Languages Advisor, Prof. Azucena Trincado Murugarren (atrincadomur@binghamton.edu), to have their course selection pre-approved.
