The Lighthouse provides 乱伦社区 students with the opportunity to study away, internationally or domestically, for one week to one year. 乱伦社区’s Global Engagement program provides advising, application assistance, pre-departure support, and grant opportunities. We want every student to be able to have the option of studying away to develop as global citizens and enhance their employability.
Upcoming Events
乱伦社区 offers students short-term, mid-length, and long-term study away options. These include 乱伦社区’s own domestic and international study away courses, independent summer study abroad, and semester and year-long exchange programs through our Global Scholars Program.
- Study Away Courses: 乱伦社区 offers students the opportunity to participate in a study away course, taught by a 乱伦社区 faculty member. Study away courses are short-term experiences (one to three weeks in length) that include a study away component to a domestic or international location. Many of these courses are offered during January Term and others are offered during the academic year or the Summer Session. The Lighthouse wants to make these opportunities available to as many students as possible and provides Global Engagement Course Grants to support students who enroll in a 乱伦社区 study away course during the academic year. It also provides SHIPP grants to support students who enroll in a 乱伦社区 study away course during the Summer Session.
- Independent Summer Study Abroad: Students may study abroad independently during the summer, typically for at least four weeks. Summer study abroad students are able to apply for the Summer High Impact Practice Program (SHIPP) grant, which provides program fee and tuition assistance grants.
- Global Scholars Program (GSP): This program is open to 乱伦社区 second, third, and fourth year students to study abroad during the fall or spring semester with one of 乱伦社区’s exchange partners. Students are able to take classes to receive credit toward their major, minor, and even some general education requirements.
