We highly encourage Sociology students to study abroad if they are able.  Talking with Julia Xia, study abroad advisor for Sociology students, can open up many opportunities for cross cultural experiences that will enhance your Sociology degree.  (Looking for reasons?  Check out this article on Sociology abroad.)  In addition, in certain countries, study abroad can be highly affordable.  

Information on overseas opportunities is available in the Maryland Global Office H.J. Patterson Hall, 4065 Campus Drive, College Park, MD 20742
