Explore the World with Endicott College: Where will you go?
Studying abroad transforms the way students see the world—and themselves. Immersed in diverse cultures and global perspectives, students develop cultural intelligence, adaptability, and confidence as they learn to thrive in new environments. These experiences foster independence, problem-solving skills, and a deeper understanding of global citizenship.
Through semester-long academic programs, international internships, and faculty-led study tours, Endicott students gain real-world experience that strengthens their academic learning and career readiness. They return with broadened horizons, lifelong connections, and the skills most valued in today’s interconnected world.
Endicott also proudly welcomes international exchange students from around the globe who study with us for a semester or academic year. Their perspectives, talents, and cultural traditions greatly enrich our classrooms and campus life, creating opportunities for shared learning and understanding across nations. The Global Education Office provides personalized support to ensure these students thrive academically, socially, and culturally—making Endicott truly a global community.
Thank you for considering education abroad as part of your Endicott journey. The Global Education Office is here to help you discover the destination and program that best fit your goals, major, and ambitions.

Why Education Abroad?
Education abroad (study abroad, study away, and global internships) provide students with important "people-to-people" exchanges enabling knowledge sharing, and an ability to successfully communicate across cultures. Such skills help students collaborate and problem-solve on major issues of the day, and bring new perspectives to their academics, their careers, and personal lives.
Education abroad is an investment in your future. Education abroad experiences provide critical and direct preparation for all areas, disciplines, and careers. Studying abroad helps students to become more independent, take risks, and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. It will help you gain new insights, awaken new passions and pursuits, and develop language skills.
You get out of study abroad what you put in. Research is key in finding the best program for you. Take the time to consider your academic needs, and your career path, and life after college. Think 2–5 years into the future, and imagine the skills and benefits your global experiences might bring to your field, and how you can become an even more qualified candidate. Engaging with local communities is important to getting a better understanding of a country’s culture and having a truly unique experience. What happens outside the classroom is as important as what students experience inside the classroom.
Education abroad makes us all ambassadors. Diplomacy is no longer just government to government—it is now artist-to-artist, scientist-to-scientist, and student-to-student. By going abroad, American students give citizens of other countries greater insight into the diversity of the United States. On the flip side, when international exchange students receive a warm welcome in the United States, their positive impressions of the United States increase dramatically. As Ambassador Caroline Kennedy states: “Study abroad is something that you can do for yourself and your country.”
"I will take this experience with me in my future practice as an elementary school teacher. Inevitably, I will have students in my classroom from different cultures; it is extremely important to value these cultures. This experience encouraged my value of cultural sensistivity." Kenya Study Tour '25
