Study Abroad in Economics
Deadlines
Why Study Abroad?
 Gain a new perspective on the relationship
between governments, politics and markets
 Reconsider the American economy from a
comparative and interconnected perspective
While deadlines vary depending on the program,
plan to apply for the spring semester in early
October and for the summer, fall semester or
academic year in February.
Types of Programs
 Develop communication and language skills
 Practice problem solving through working,
studying and living in an unfamiliar context
 Gain exposure to how professionals abroad may
frame and interpret questions differently
 Understand how to work with people, companies
and organizations from other countries/cultures
 Explore potential new career directions
 Develop confidence, a strengthened sense of
personal identity, flexibility, and creativity
 Become more culturally sensitive and curious
When to Study Abroad
Many undergraduate economics students study
abroad during their junior year. It is best to go
abroad after finishing the core theory sequence so
that students can take advantage of region specific
or topical economics electives. All students
considering study abroad should meet with their
academic advisor to determine eligibility and
carefully sequence coursework around travel plans.
University Exchange
As Carnegie Mellon sends its students to these
programs; it receives students from its foreign
partners. Carnegie Mellon students participating in
these programs continue to pay tuition directly to
Carnegie Mellon and receive the same financial aid
package. Students are responsible for room, board,
travel, and miscellaneous expenses.
University Sponsored Programs
Study abroad programs that have been approved as
University Sponsored Programs allow students to
pay regular Carnegie Mellon tuition, plus room and
board, and receive the same financial aid package.
External Programs
External Programs allow students to pay the study
abroad program directly, while still maintaining fulltime enrollment status at Carnegie Mellon. Students
participating in External Programs do not pay tuition
and fees to Carnegie Mellon for the time abroad.
Institutional aid from Carnegie Mellon is not
applicable for these programs, but federal and state
aid may still be used.
Financial Aid and Scholarships
Review the section above for specific information
regarding the use of financial aid abroad. Check out
http://www.cmu.edu/oie/sab/gettingstarted/Scholarsh
ips%20and%20Awards/index.html for information on
other sources of funding. Scholarships are also
available through the Dietrich Dean’s Office for
majors in the Dietrich College.
