Short-term Seminars
Not sure you can fit a whole semester abroad into your schedule? Need another reason to study with your favorite professor?
Global Ed seminars are your ticket. Take a class at an off-campus location in between semesters. In recent years, students have trekked through the wilds of New Zealand to get a glimpse of unique bird species, visited Jesus’ burial site in Jerusalem, interned in the bustling city of Hong Kong, and attended a Shakespearean play in Shakespeare’s iconic Globe Theatre in London. Check out our current seminars below.
