Aurora University — Opportunities for Global Study
Discover what it means to be a citizen of the world through the Office of Global Engagement.
Why study globally?
- Immerse yourself in a particular culture or tradition.
- Earn academic credit toward general education or major requirements in a unique way while staying on track for graduation.
- Complete globally-minded elective courses to expand your cultural awareness.
- Experience adventures, build relationships, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The Office of Global Engagement provides exciting learning opportunities that lead to academic credit.
Types of Global Experiences
Short-Term Study Away
Begin your experience in the AU classroom and see what you learn come to life through one to two weeks of faculty-led travel to a destination either in the U.S. or abroad.
Long-Term Study Away
Work with an advisor to plan a semester-long opportunity to study abroad at an academic institution or complete an internship. These opportunities offer immersion in a chosen culture and/or language while earning academic credit. Not all programs require foreign language fluency.
Virtual International Internships
Explore opportunities to engage in a global work environment without leaving the U.S.
