Which courses of college study would most likely allow me to study abroad?

Ok, I am in high school, and about to go to college soon. For the last few years of my life, I have always wanted to go to Japan, Italy, and/or South America. I dont know which courses of study would allow me to travel. I want to be an architect eventually, so if that helps influence your answer.

Which courses of college study would most likely allow me to study abroad?
I think any job/career can offer the opportunity to travel/work abroad. Study something you enjoy and have passion for, then finding a job won't feel like work. Take classes in a foreign language as this will open more opportunities for you. I would also check with the student services to see what colleges/universities are affiliated. You can also take work/volunteer experience in the summer to places you are interested in.....and if all else fails, you can also plan a couple backpacking adventures.


Good luck!
Reply:Most colleges have a study abroad program in place where students (regardless of major) can study for a semester or a year in other countries. It's always important to have a basic knowledge of the language spoken at your target destination, so start by taking some Spanish, Italian or Japanese classes depending on where you would like to go. As an architecture major, you should probably take some art history classes that will allow you to understand the different art periods that influenced architecture as a whole.





Make sure you talk to your college counselor or admissions counselor and see whether the university you are planning to attend has a strong study abroad program. Inquire about the different programs they offer and whether they have any requirements.





Good luck!

Reply:Why do you need to wait to be in college to go abroad? Why do you need to take specific courses that will allow to go abroad? You don´t need to wait. You can go this summer and take advantage of wonderful programs that will allow you to learn the language the younger you are the better accent and absortion of everything. I can recommend to you a terrific program that all those students that participated in cam back raving about: HomeStay Spain (www.beautifulspain.com) It´s the perfect program for high school students. Their host families are so carefully screened, they are extrardinary. They can place you in any family of your choice (they will offer a few choices) for a perfect fit. You can participate with a friend or on your own and join the rest of the students participating from all over. They offer great, fun and exciting activities. all included in one single low price. Dont miss the opportunity! Have fun and enjoy!

Reply:Ooh good question, it is more important to find a school that has strong study aboard progams and sister universities in the places you want to go. More important then the major you choose. However, studying a language is always a good choice even if it is a minor.
