STUDY ABROAD
The Parkside Study Abroad Office helps you identify a study abroad program that fits you academically, financially and personally. There are study abroad opportunities that allow you to study for a few weeks in the summer or winterim or for a full semester program.
Parkside students should also explore National Student Exchange, which offers students the opportunity to complete a semester in another US or Canadian institution for the same tuition cost as staying at Parkside.
