For the past four years England, Spain, and Australia have been the top three most popu- lar countries for study abroad at Bryant. China, an economic power, is expected to be one of the leading destinations for Bryant students in a few years. All Bryant students in good academic standing are eligible to study abroad regardless of major. Most full semester pro- grams require a 3.0 GPA or higher, but summer and win- ter program requirements vary. Interested students may involve themselves in the Stu- dent Experiences Abroad Club, whether they wish to hear about other students’ ex- periences studying abroad or have already studied abroad. Students who previously studied abroad may become Peer Mentors. “Peer Mentors are students that have studied abroad in the past that are available to talk with other in- terested students about their experiences studying abroad,” Says Engwall. If a student is interested in study- ing abroad then they can email or call the study abroad office for information regard- ing the programs and coun- tries they are a9racted to.

Interview with the study abroad office coordinator Jonathan De Costa: What is your role in the study abroad office?

Beth Engwall: My title is as- sistant director of the study abroad office, but you can pre9y much say I do run the office.

J.D.: When did you take up the position?

B.E.: They hired me in Febru- ary of ’06, and when they hired me they hired me as ac- ademic advisor and study abroad advisor. My focus in college was working in inter- national education, and I found out this position was available—so here I am.

J.D.: What are the most popu- lar countries to study abroad in?

B.E.: For the past four years the most popular programs have been England, Spain, Australia. Consistently those are the top three.
