Fall in love with fall semester study abroad

Fall in love with fall semester study abroad Greg B Swenson Fri, 02/21/2025 - 13:47

Education Abroad

There are misconceptions that the only time you can study abroad is spring semester. This is far from the truth—there are many reasons to go abroad in the fall.

Ski the Southern Hemisphere

Thinking about studying abroad, but don’t want to miss out on ski season? Consider the fall semester in the Southern Hemisphere. Winter in countries like Chile means fresh powder, epic slopes, and endless adventure. Spend July through September skiing in the Andes during their peak season, then head back to Colorado just in time for another round of fresh snow. Who’s in for a double ski season?

�鶹ӰԺ Housing

If the �鶹ӰԺ housing market gives you an annual headache, studying abroad in the fall might be a great solution. Not only do you kick off your adventure earlier, but finding a sublease for your �鶹ӰԺ housing is way easier when you leave in the fall. Secure your spot abroad and stress less about your lease! You can even forgo signing a lease at all - and sublease from one of the hundreds of students that choose to go abroad in the spring. This move could save you thousands in rent. Less students choose to study abroad in the fall meaning there are better chances for scholarships, and low competition for competitive programs, all of which means your odds of paying less and going farther are better.

Extend Your Adventure

Choosing to study abroad during the fall semester also gives you the opportunity to extend your adventure to the spring. If you find you love living in your host country, you could choose to return to your original destination or pick a completely different one - even on a different continent. Imagine spending fall in sunny Australia, then meeting up with your friends in Europe in the spring! Spending an entire academic year abroad could set you apart on job and grad school applications, and it’s a memory from college you’ll never forget.

Autumn Festivals

There are plenty of autumn festivals focusing on art, music, and culture worldwide. Studying abroad in the fall gives you the opportunity to experience these incredible holidays in person, things few students ever get to see. Consider going to Oktoberfest in Germany, experiencing the vibrant Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) in Mexico, or traditional Japanese harvest festivals surrounded by the gorgeous fall foliage.

Make Your Plan

Studying abroad at any point in your college career can be a transformative and exciting experience. Consider taking the road less traveled and choose the fall semester for your adventure—visit the Education Abroad office today in C4C S355 or at abroad.colorado.edu, and apply for a fall program by March 1.

Engineering Management Program launches sustainability graduate certificate Megan Maneval Tue, 01/28/2025 - 14:45

CU �鶹ӰԺ’s Engineering Management Program, in collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries Software, is proud to announce the launch of its new graduate certificate in Design for the Circular Economy. Offered through the Coursera platform, this innovative program is designed to equip students and working professionals with the skills needed to thrive in, or enter into, the rapidly growing field of sustainability and the circular economy.

The circular economy is transforming industries around the globe, focusing on redesigning products to be more resource-efficient and compatible with repurposing and recycling into new products at the end of their lifecycle. As businesses, governments, and nonprofit organizations increasingly prioritize sustainability, demand for professionals with expertise in circular economy practices is surging.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (in collaboration with McKinsey & Company) estimated that transitioning to a circular economy could generate around 700,000 jobs in the European Union alone by 2030, across sectors such as recycling, remanufacturing, and product life extension. The CU �鶹ӰԺ and Siemens collaboration aims to meet this need through cutting-edge, online education that prepares graduates to drive positive change within their organizations and beyond.

The Design for the Circular Economy graduate certificate is a 9-credit hour, 100% online program. The program offers four specializations consisting of 12 1-credit hour courses. Eight courses will be offered by mid-January, with the remaining courses to launch by summer 2025. Students are required to complete any two 3-credit hour specializations (totaling 6 credit hours), and 3 additional courses (totaling 3 credit hours), which could include another specialization or any three topical electives from the Design for the Circular Economy Certificate electives.

The future of business is circular

Program participants will gain an in-depth understanding of cradle-to-cradle design methodologies, sustainable operations and supply chain management, and the leadership skills necessary to implement these practices at scale. Students will learn to design sustainable products, assess environmental and social impacts, and manage operations in alignment with circular economy principles.

100% online—flexible for professionals

The certificate is delivered 100% online from the Coursera platform, providing students with flexibility to balance their studies with professional and personal commitments. The program’s reach is global, offering students and professionals worldwide the opportunity to enhance their expertise and contribute to the growing demand for circular economy specialists.

Skills acquired

Upon completing the certificate, students will gain both foundational technical knowledge and practical professional skills. Graduates will be equipped with:

Technical knowledge and skills: Understand and apply concepts of the circular economy to areas of product design and development, social and environmental impact analysis, industrial ecology, zero waste and systems thinking.
Business knowledge and skills: Develop innovative new business models, create and manage projects incorporating sustainable finance and reporting, marketing and brand management, as well as sustainable and resilient operations and supply chains.
Leadership knowledge and skills: Build confidence in communicating to internal and external stakeholders and develop the skills to navigate uncertainty and implement transformational change in their organizations.

Learners who complete a course, a specialization, or this certificate are eligible to earn digital badges from Siemens.
