Diversity Abroad

MU endeavors to make study abroad opportunities available to all MU students. Students of color may face unique barriers to study abroad. In addition, some MU students may choose to study abroad in countries where they will be a member of an ethnic minority group for the first time. We hope these resources will help students successfully address these issues, and ultimately have an optimally enriching experience abroad.
