As a student athlete, you may be worried that you will not be able to study abroad, but with careful planning and collaboration, the Global Education Office (GEO) can help you go abroad on one of our many programs. We offer programs ranging from our Global Classroom Series courses which go abroad for a week during spring break, to summer semester courses, to full semester programs. Going abroad takes careful planning but is beneficial in the long run. You\u00a0 may even get to experience your sport in a whole new light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below, we have answered some of the questions that may be running through your head.<\/span><\/p>\n

When am I allowed to study abroad so it does not clash with my training?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Every sport has different training seasons. This below will give you an idea of what semester program might work for your sport. For our Global Classroom Series which involves a week-long embedded field experience abroad during Spring Break, please talk to your coach to see how this would affect your training and if you are able to participate even if your season is in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For basketball and swimming athletes, we recommend a summer semester abroad.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

All athletes can participate in a summer semester abroad as long as Fall-Season athletes return by mid-August.<\/span><\/p>\n

How will going abroad affect my training?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

There are multiple ways student athletes can continue training while abroad. Some of our partners have their own sports facilities, gyms, or training areas. Students can work with their coach to come up with training exercises they can do while abroad. Some of our partners abroad also have club sports students can join during the semester. Student athletes can join these as long as they do not violate compliance requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are things I have to do to comply with NCAA regulations while I\u2019m abroad? Can I still play sports or practice while I\u2019m abroad?<\/b><\/h3>\n

We have compiled the regulations you must follow while abroad if you desire to keep playing your sport while on a program.<\/span><\/p>\n
