Your second year, redefined—globally.

Study Abroad Your Second Year

You don’t have to wait until junior year to go abroad. In fact, sophomore year might be the best time to do it.

You’ve figured out Baylor. You know your routine, your people, your pace. So now consider going abroad!

Studying abroad in your second year gives you the chance to step outside what’s familiar, see the world in a new way, and learn more about yourself in the process.

And the best part? You can do all of that while staying on track academically.

Why Sophomore Year?

Students who study abroad in their sophomore year tend to say the same thing when they come back—it changed me more than I expected.

Not just where they’ve been, but how they see things.

They come back more confident, more independent, and a little more sure of what they want.

Going abroad in your second year isn’t just something you check off. It ends up shaping what comes next.

You might:

• Take classes in a way that finally clicks
• Discover a new interest—or rethink your major
• Build friendships you wouldn’t have found anywhere else
• Realize you’re capable of more than you thought

And because you go early, you still have time to:

• Apply what you learned
• Go abroad again
• Help other students take that same step

That’s really the advantage of going sophomore year—it doesn’t just fit into your Baylor experience, it shapes the rest of it.
