STUDY ABROAD

Study abroad can be a life-changing experience. Every student can find an opportunity that fits their goals. Students can travel in groups with faculty leaders, attend an overseas university or study alongside other U.S. students in a foreign country. Whether immersing yourself in another culture by taking courses taught in the local language, living with a host family or taking language and culture classes, the choices are abundant.

WAYS TO GO ABROAD

• When looking for a study abroad program, students can take courses for their major, minor, core, and Areas of Inquiry or elective credit

SUMMER STUDY ABROAD

CNU offers several group programs in the summer. Each year the location and/or topics may change, giving a wide range of opportunities for students to explore the world while earning credits toward their degree. Faculty lead students through countries while teaching a CNU course. Students are also welcome to attend an external program offered by a study abroad organization or overseas university that is approved by CNU. Programs can range in length between two to eight weeks, usually offering one or two courses.

SEMESTER STUDY ABROAD

Study abroad for the spring or fall semester. Students can take courses in your major, minor, Liberal Learning Core, Areas of Inquiry or elective credit. Students take between 12-17 credits and spend three to five months abroad. CNU in Scotland is a program for a group of students studying at the University of Glasgow with a CNU professor teaching one of the courses. Christopher Newport also has exchanges and works with study abroad organizations and overseas universities that offer semester programs all over the world. In the spring semester, the university may offer a course that travels during the spring break vacation. The availability of the spring break option varies each year.
