Study Away
Study Away
From travel writing to industry-leading advertising and entertainment strategies, our study away programs offer students an experience that strengthens their understanding of their major and grants valuable skills they wouldn’t get in a normal classroom setting.
While each program offers courses in specific disciplines, students are not limited to participating in courses only within their major. Many of our Study Abroad and Field Study programs are open to students outside of Grady College majors (including undergraduate and graduate students) as well as students outside of the University of Georgia.
