Many Sondheim Scholars study abroad. Sondheim Scholars may use their Sondheim Experiential Learning Award toward a summer, winter, or semester program abroad.
Sondheim Scholars may also study abroad on a new program in South Africa! The course is Public Affairs 300: Global Community Engagement and Social Change in South Africa, and it is taught by Jessica Cook, Associate Director of the Sondheim Scholars Program. The course debuted in Summer 2023, and it will run again in Summer 2025. The course is open to all UMBC undergraduates, and Sondheim Scholars are eligible for scholarship funding to cover part of the cost.
Visit the UMBC Education Abroad Office website to find a summer, winter, or semester study abroad program that will allow you to earn credits toward your UMBC degree while having a life-changing experience in one of dozens of countries around the world.
