Study Abroad

Overview

In an effort to educate our ZAP students globally, a study abroad program will be required for all ZAP students during the summer after their first year. Photos above are from the 2015-2016 cohort trip to London. 

We believe that every student should explore the world around them.

Study abroad programs help students understand what it is like to live and work in another country, something that gives them an edge when job hunting because corporate boundaries are rarely limited to one nation. Study abroad programs also introduce students to new ideas and philosophies, and help them understand how different cultures communicate. Research has shown that students who study abroad are more likely to graduate on time and with higher GPA's, and they are generally more focused on their career goals.

ZAP students will complete courses during their study abroad experience and earn credits towards their degree. As a cohort, ZAP will travel to London and take part in visiting advertising agencies, tour marketing departments, and enjoy tourist attractions. This experience will give them a preview of advertising agencies around the country which will, in turn, provide them with fresh ideas and a global perspective.
