Study Abroad

Our students can take advantage of the many study abroad programs through the Kearney International Center, some of which allow students to pay the tuition rate of their home institution, thus reducing the study abroad costs.

Faculty-Led Study Abroad

Humans of Northumberland (May 18 - June 1, 2020)

Join faculty on a 14-day trip to northeast England, where students will undertake an interdisciplinary multimedia project documenting the people and language varieties of Northumberland. Students will stay at Alnwick Castle, where portions of Harry Potter were filmed, and will take a variety of day trips throughout the region, including to coastal castles and Scotland.

Registration for MASS 290 (2 credits) or ENG 490 (2 credits) in Summer Session I is required. Both courses are open to all majors! The estimated trip cost is $1750 which includes flight, lodging, guided excursions, and most meals.
