Studying abroad is something that can be a life-changing experience shared by tens of thousands of American students annually. Concordia University, therefore, encourages students to enrich their education through affordable overseas study programs that add a rich intercultural component to the traditional undergraduate experience. Concordia students can step out of the textbook and immerse themselves in the music of Mozart, the culture of Spain, the splendor of Italy, or the grandeur and vitality of London, while earning academic credit from Concordia.
Students can select from a variety of study abroad programs sponsored by Concordia University in partnership with AHA International, including those in London, Vienna, Macerata, Segovia and Cologne. Concordia University as well as other members of MCSA, the Midwest Consortium for Study Abroad, offers students the opportunity to study at these sites during the fall and spring semesters or in the summer in Dublin.
Students receive academic credit for all courses taken overseas (12-16 credit hours per semester). With careful planning, students can study abroad and still graduate on time since at least six hours of core requirements can usually be fulfilled through an overseas program. The study abroad experience often takes place during the junior or senior year, but undergraduates are encouraged to begin planning for study abroad while they are freshmen or sophomores. Financial aid can be applied to these programs.
