Opening access to the world
The Center for Global Initiatives' Opening Access Initiative helps underserved and underrepresented Carolina students travel abroad.
Tar Heels Abroad
Studying abroad once was considered an extravagance few could afford. Students today see global engagement as a fundamental part of their education, and many at Carolina have at least one study abroad experience on their transcript.
Study Abroad
By the numbers
“Study abroad helped me learn that feeling at home is a state of mind and not an actual place. My home is with my family and friends here in North Carolina and at Chapel Hill, but it’s also with each and every person I met abroad. My heart is sprinkled all over the world and I couldn’t be happier about it.”
