\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> With 578 University at Albany students studying abroad during the 2013-14 academic year, UAlbany has become one of the largest providers of study abroad options within the SUNY system.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> According to Ren\u00e9e DeCelle, Assistant Director of UAlbany Study Abroad and Exchanges, the primary mission of the Office of International Education is to promote global awareness and international cooperation.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> As part of the SUNY Study Abroad Consortium, UAlbany students can participate in programs run by any other four-year SUNY school and remain registered at UAlbany the whole time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cWe offer over 130 study abroad programs in more than 40 countries and on every continent,\u201d DeCelle said. \u201cBy working with the SUNY Study Abroad Consortium, we can give students access to more than 600 programs offered SUNY-wide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Celine Hogan, a freshman at UAlbany, will be studying abroad next fall in Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cThe study abroad office here helped me a lot,\u201d said Hogan. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to stay with a host<\/p>\n

family so they provided me with<\/p>\n

a list of contacts that could help me find a different place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Hogan looks forward to backpacking across South America during her semester abroad.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cOur students\u2019 experiences abroad are overwhelmingly positive,\u201d DeCelle said. \u201cWe find that many students gain a sense of independence and self-reliance that is difficult to teach in a classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> UAlbany students have described their experiences abroad as \u201camazing, life-changing and eye-opening,\u201d said DeCelle.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> Meagan Sagliocca, a recent graduate of UAlbany, spent a summer studying in London and seems to agree.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cMy experience abroad gave me a grasp on other cultures that I never would have learned in my classes,\u201d Sagliocca said. \u201cI would 100 percent recommend going abroad to anyone who is considering it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> One of Sagliocca\u2019s best memories abroad is seeing the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum during her time in London.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> UAlbany\u2019s study abroad tradition dates back to the 1960s. However, most of the programs currently offered have been<\/p>\n

developed in the past 20 years, according to DeCelle.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cUAlbany lays claim to the oldest continually functioning exchange program in Russia at Moscow State University,\u201d DeCelle said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> UAlbany students interested in studying abroad are encouraged to check out www.albany.edu\/studyabroad to learn more.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span> \u201cWith some planning, students in every major can study abroad,\u201d said DeCelle. \u201cThere are programs with coursework taught in English all over the world, as well as service learning and internship options.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
