Sophie Newman - Study Abroad

I am strongly considering studying abroad.  I learned about MU’s study abroad program through J1010.  I was surprised at all the different options and countries available to study at through MU’s J school, while even earning credit for journalism.  Mizzou offers three different international programs such as exchange, internship and short-term sessions.  The exchange program offers twelve different destinations to study for one semester at a partner university.  I studied Spanish all through middle and high school, and have always wanted to go to Spain.  Taking advantage of this opportunity to travel to Spain seems like a great way.  My mom studied in London and she has been encouraging me to go abroad for as long as I can remember.  She has always told me it was one of the best experiences of her life.  In addition, I traveled to Italy two summers ago and fell in love with the culture.  I would love to experience other countries. 

            1 – Is the application process hard?
            2 – Are there options for financial aid or scholarships?
            3 – How many credits can you get?
4 – Are there people to help you to decide on what program/country to travel to?
