Education Abroad

Sharing CASNR Students with the World

Where can you go? Study Abroad helps you spread your wings further than you might have imagined possible. The impact of an international experience is great, positive, and long-lasting. The impact can be felt on your personal growth in self-understanding, independence, communication, and appreciation of your world and the situation of others. CASNR has sponsored trips to a variety of locations around the world including New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Botswana, Italy, Rwanda, Scotland, Spain, and France.
