Study Abroad
Study Abroad
We believe in the value of an immersive international experience.
Not only do we offer an education that enables you to succeed in an increasingly global world, we’ll help you see the world for yourself.
Enhancing your education by studying abroad is more than an adventure; it is quickly becoming the measuring stick by which prospective employers gauge the ability of job applicants to function in a multicultural, professional world. Study abroad experiences have become an indispensable “soft skill” that strengthens resumes and increases job marketability.
Leadership Without Limits
Leadership Without Limits is a unique study abroad opportunity that will help develop your understanding of leadership in a global context. The program will challenge you to examine your own perspective by learning from peers and the cultures to which you will be exposed.
Global Scholars
Determined to make the most of college and refine your job skills? Participate in globally focused coursework, events and research for an opportunity to be recognized as a Global Scholar. Award includes distinction at graduation plus study abroad scholarships.
Global Study
Programs include 10 to 14-day faculty-led programs, individually crafted experiences and full academic programs. Studying abroad will allow you to develop a global perspective of different cultures through exposure, experience, education, social structures and economic systems.

Academics
We believe the best learning experiences are built on three things: a commitment to academic excellence, strong personal relationships and the pursuit of a shared purpose.
Simply put, it makes living and learning here feel like a private school experience at a public school cost. Each of our colleges and schools offers distinctive programs and pathways to a rewarding life after college. Our students come to campus with a will to succeed and leave transformed and ready to pursue lives of purpose and meaning.
