According to the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), four out of 10 students study abroad while attending Sweet Briar — twice as many students than at other colleges.

Students spend a summer, a semester or a full year overseas in any of a number of countries. Immersed in the culture, they study at an internationally renowned institution, perhaps live with a host family, and develop a more global perspective.
