Kirkwood offers a variety of opportunities for you to spend a semester studying abroad as an exchange student through the many exchange agreements Kirkwood holds with institutions overseas. Studying abroad will take some work on your part: be thorough, consider all of your options, and don’t give up until you find what is right for you! Spending a semester abroad involves a great deal of independence and planning.  To begin, ask yourself a few questions:  Where do I want to go?  How long do I want to be abroad?  How will I finance my semester abroad? What type of credit do I want to receive?
