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.
