The faculty have made this opportunity for graduate students a regular and fully intergrated feature of the School's academic program and calendar, The University of Delaware offers one of the very few masters programs in public policy/public administration in the United States with study abroad opportunities built into the academic program, and is the only program are aware of that offers financial assistance to participants.
Several hundred students have participated in past study abroads in, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, France, Germany, India, Italy, Romania, Scotland, Sweden, and The Netherlands. Participants have found these experiences to be among the most important of their graduate study, often reporting back that they were able to better understand contemporary issues in the United States as well as gain an understanding of their field of study in other cultures. Many students have used these experiences in their academic work and several have found that their participation led to subsequent professional opportunities.
