As an IWU student, you have the opportunity to both study and serve abroad. Our faculty have carefully shaped programs to help you:
- foster a global mindset.
- develop cultural responsiveness.
- learn from experts how to navigate in an increasingly global marketplace.
Travel Classes
These global experiences are credit-bearing and are associated with a course in the existing IWU catalog. Travel costs listed do not include the cost of tuition. The trip leaders are the best contacts for details.
Global Service Learning Teams
Service trips are non-credit bearing experiences. The listed prices include all costs with an estimated rate for flights. These trips are eligible for tax-deductible fundraising. Please contact individual trip leaders for details. Students should connect with Academic Affairs Office (AAO) at least 6 months in advance as there are many steps involved with service-learning trips
Long Term Experiences
These longer-term experiences of 3-16 weeks give students the chance to truly immerse themselves in partner communities, both domestically and internationally. Because these programs are longer and highly varied, they require initiative and attention-to-detail from participants. For more details, please contact the Director of International Education Programs (shawn.Yang@indwes.edu). Students should connect with Academic Affairs Office (AAO) at least 10 months in advance as there are many steps involved with long term experiences for programs like: semester abroad/away, cross cultural teaching and international internship.
School of Nursing Short-term Trips
These international experiences are exclusive to the School of Nursing and range from covering just the Intercultural Nursing requirement to full semesters encompasing multliple courses.
Studying Abroad opened up my eyes in a way that I would never imagine possible. There is something so enriching about being able to see the beautiful cultures and people that the Lord created!
