Each summer, Liberal Arts faculty teach more than 50 courses in study abroad programs offered in 10 foreign countries, and new and exciting courses are added each year. In most years, courses are offered in Belize, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, and Spain.

In the College of Liberal Arts, we believe that any student who wants to study abroad should have the opportunity to do so. Study abroad opens students’ eyes, providing them with experiences they usually can’t gain from books or classroom discussions or vacation travel. When they are immersed in another culture, a number of things happen. If they are studying a foreign language, they gain language skills that can be acquired only through interaction with native speakers in the language’s natural environment. They become more self-confident and resourceful, having learned to rely on their own capabilities. They become less judgmental and more appreciative of other people’s ideas and customs. At the same time, they gain valuable perspective on their own culture, and they sense that foreign study has enhanced their quality of life. All of these attributes lead them to become lifelong students, informed decision-makers, successful professionals, and good citizens.

We hope that you'll consider enrolling in one of our exciting study abroad programs. You will find descriptions of some of the programs on this web site, along with contact information.
