Trojans Abroad
Delaney Brower in Bilbao, Spain
My time overseas was transformative in so many ways, and has ultimately inspired me to pursue graduate programs abroad in the near future. Thanks to the incredible professors I met, I have learned about the unique master’s programs that the University of Deusto offers, programs of which I would not have known about if I didn’t choose to go abroad. I am immensely grateful for the time I had in Bilbao, and look forward to the time I can visit again!
Dani De La Cruz in Quito, Ecuador
Studying abroad in Quito, Ecuador was a dream come true! As a student at la Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ) with IES Quito, I made amazing friends and delved into global south perspectives. Ecuador, a hidden gem, offered breathtaking hikes and volcano climbs. My time there was unforgettable, and I can’t wait to return to its stunning landscapes!
Pauline Hales-Brown in Dublin

My experience studying abroad as an HHSC major was wonderful. Overall, I’m thankful for my time in the study abroad program. It allowed me to bring new perspectives to my final courses at USC and carry them with me even beyond graduation.
