The University of Arizona offers opportunities to undergraduate and graduate/professional students to study abroad in more than 60 countries. Currently, the Department of Communication works very closely with the program in Orvieto, Italy where Communication students can complete core units and earn several upper division units in one semester abroad. Additionally, undergraduate students may choose to attain a Certificate in International and Intercultural Communication, which focuses on a range of theories and research in the area as well as engaging in communication in an intercultural or international setting.
