Study Abroad Locations

Whether you're a freshman or a junior, majoring in art or business or undecided, the Office of Experiential Learning can help you find a program that fits your curriculum and interests. Several departments offer programs for students studying specific majors, and other on-campus programs focus specifically on the core curriculum and are open to all students. Past trips have included Nepal, China, Bulgaria, Jamaica and more! Check with the Office of Experiential Learning to see which program best fits your goals, and keep an eye out for upcoming trips and resources.

In January 2020, eight GSW students from different majors accompanied faculty members Dr. Kailash Ghimire, Mr. Keaton Wynn, and Dr. Irina Toteva to Nepal in January of 2020 for a study abroad and service-learning course. The students and faculty spent time in Nepal helped with the rebuilding of a school near Kathmandu destroyed by a devastating earthquake in 2015, visited UNESCO’s World Heritage sites in Kathmandu, including the Birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini, explored the beauty of Chitwan national park, and networked with students at Apex College. They ate local food, met and interacted with people from different backgrounds, and learned more about Nepal, including Buddhist and Hindu cultures.

I got to Study Abroad last Summer to Bulgaria with 7 other GSW students, and it was incredible. One weekend we visited Thassos, Greece, and two other students and I bought gyros and Greek pastries and took a tour of the island by boat. It was really one of the neatest experiences ever.
