Off-Campus Study

Considerations

• You are required to study abroad for one semester (minimum) as an Global Studies major.
• Most students study abroad during their junior or senior year.
• Global Studies majors can study literally in all countries. Often, study abroad is linked to interest in a second language or a thematic program.
• It is quite common for students to gain credit toward their global studies electives.
• It is important to meet with your academic advisor regarding courses you plan on taking off-campus and how this fits within your academic plan, particularly credits counting toward your major (and provide appropriate course descriptions).

“My study abroad experience brought life to my Global Studies major. I spent a semester in Ecuador and was radically changed by my time there. I was seeing and experiencing the things that I had been learning about at Hope. I have learned so much more about other cultures and different world issues by living abroad, and I am more passionate about my major now more than ever.”
