A valid passport and sturdy luggage are great things to have at Millsaps where more than 40 percent of students spend time abroad. Our unique study abroad programs are designed by Millsaps faculty to meet the needs and interests of Millsaps students while also fulfilling credit hours within a variety of disciplines.

From religious research in Israel to cultural studies in Tanzania to language classes in France, study abroad provides students with a powerful tool for understanding and appreciating our complex world. Millsaps also participates in semester and year-long exchange programs, currently in Ireland and Japan.

Millsaps operates a 4,000 acre tropical forest biocultural reserve in the heart of the Yucatán peninsula. Our Living in Yucatán program offers courses in the study of archaeology, business, ecology, education, geology, history, literature, and sociocultural anthropology.
