Psychology looks different when you take it outside the classroom
USA Psychology Study Abroad gives students the opportunity to explore psychology within different cultural, social, and historical contexts while experiencing life abroad alongside faculty and fellow students.
Through visits with universities, researchers, healthcare providers, and community organizations, as well as plenty of opportunities to explore, we examine how culture and context shape the way people think, behave, cope, and connect.
