These experiences not only provide an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in new cultures, but to also to develop a more comprehensive vision of their academic and career goals. Our department currently offers several programs that fit different interests, scheduling and budget needs. Below are a few of our recurring opportunities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>UK\/Germany: Sport Programs and Facilities <\/strong>Sport events, organizing bodies, sponsors, and media increasingly operate on a multinational scale and cross-cultural contexts, necessitating international sport competencies from students entering the workplace. This multi-country study abroad program offers students the opportunity to engage with industry professionals and scholars that can provide a multinational perspective on sport programs and sustainable facility management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><b><b>Australia\/New Zealand: Human Cultures and Natural Environments <\/b><\/b>This faculty-led program explores the interdisciplinary and complex relationship between humans and the environment, with a focus on topics related to conservation, natural resources, protected areas and sustainable development through educational travel, field trips, active participation, lecture presentations, seminars and coursework exercises. You can expect experiential learning, exposure to new environments and communities, and insightful local guides and instructors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To explore other study abroad opportunities or to complete an application, visit the<a href=\"http:\/\/studyabroad.ncsu.edu\/\">NC State Study Abroad website<\/a>.
