Texas State offers a variety of education abroad destinations to students of all majors and areas of interest. If you are interested in an education abroad program, you should first visit with the Education Abroad Office. Once you have selected a program, it is important that you are prepared financially to travel overseas. For possible assistance in covering some of the costs, you may want to consider applying for financial aid.
