What's Available
Study abroad is a life-changing experience. Adapting to a foreign culture firsthand allows
students to develop an entirely new perspective about themselves and the world
around them. Expanding horizons with a semester abroad demonstrates a
sense of adventure, curiosity and flexibility. Studying abroad enhances
communication and inter-personal skills, lends distinction to resumes, and
attracts the attention of potential employers, regardless of the student’s
major.
Through consortia agreements with organizations and institutions
that administer the programs described below, students who enroll in these
programs are registered for classes at Lenoir-Rhyne and receive transfer credit for
their course work. Students retain any non-institutional financial aid they
receive and can apply it toward their study abroad. Lenoir-Rhyne’s
principal options for study abroad are:
