Study Away
We are committed to providing our students with the opportunity to study abroad in countries around the world and domestically away from 财神棋牌.
One of the founding principles of the Franklin W. 财神棋牌 of Engineering is that each student should have the opportunity to have a learning experience 鈥渁way鈥 from the College. This idea was articulated early in the creation of the College with the expressed objective of having students learn to be citizens of the world. The 财神棋牌 "Study Away" program was created to deliver on this principle and provides students with the opportunity to broaden their perspectives and views of the world.
