Other Opportunities

Study Abroad

Augusta University offers study abroad and study away (domestic) programs. Nothing will be quite the same after you have studied abroad—your perspectives will be global, your attitudes international, and you will have memories that you will carry forever.

The internship experience should serve as a transition between the world of the classroom and the world of work.
