How to spend 1 year abroad & earn 2 degrees ✈️

How a student can study abroad is one of the most frequently asked questions we get in person and in our DMs. Today we're sitting down with Marcela Pino Alcaraz to break down one of our most unique options-- NAU's award-winning Interdisciplinary Global Program.

Through IGP you can earn 2 degrees in 5 years AND spend one full year abroad.

How does it work?  IGP has two tracks – STEM and Business. Students spend a year abroad, with one semester taking classes and one semester doing an internship. When you return to NAU you present your internship projects in your language of study to the IGP Summit. Finally, you graduate with degrees in your chosen major plus a degree in either a language or cultural studies.

Amazing? We think so! If you need more convincing, hear from Lumberjack Kalil who just started his time abroad in Spain. He's currently adjusting to siestas and the slower pace of life. We also have Mia who just returned from her year abroad in Argentina and Ecuador. Mia shares her experience being immersed in the culture and research in her field.

From where you can study to how to pay for it (yes, your scholarships can still apply), we're here to help you explore the world around you and make a positive impact in it.

Go big, go global. Through IGP the world is at your fingertips.
