A growing trend in engineering education is "internationalizing" study abroad for STEM students who have traditionally been under-represented in these programs. One such program is offered at Northern Arizona University, where students get a B.S. in a STEM subject, and a B.A. in a foreign language (Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish), spend their fourth year abroad to study and participate in an internship, and return for their fifth year at NAU, all at a cost not much in excess of the 4-year program. The Valparaiso International Engineering Program has a similar approach. For more information, visit Globalizing STEM Degree Programs .
