Durations

Graduate students are more likely to engage in limited- and short-term overseas experiences than the overall study abroad population as reported to Open Doors.

Graduate students participate in limited term overseas experiences (less than 2 weeks in duration) at more than twice the rate of the overall study abroad population (51% compared to 24%, respectively). They also engage in short-term experiences (2 to 8 weeks) at equivalent rates to the overall study abroad population, bringing the total number of graduate students participating in 8 weeks or shorter learning overseas experiences to 87%.
