Join CAST Abroad

CAST Abroad offers students the opportunity to explore global perspectives through immersive experiences in places such as Mexico City and Singapore. Students will gain a deeper understanding of each location’s history, culture, and contemporary challenges. Through historical sites, museums, and daily interactions with local guides and university partners, participants will explore each country’s unique national identity. By experiencing firsthand how diverse cultures and nationalities coexist, students will develop a broader perspective on global interconnectedness and community.
