To continue as a leader in global engagement, NWU is shifting from only in-person study abroad to a multi-channel approach:

• In-person study abroad when it is safe to resume
• Virtual global engagement – using technology to meaningfully engage with others around the world
• GLOCAL engagement – Engaging with international persons and cultures in our local environment (Lincoln and Nebraska) 

This multi-channel approach makes global engagement more equitable and inclusive for all NWU students.

Open a whole new world of knowledge and adventure that will benefit your academic, 职业生涯, and personal life by making a plan to study abroad.

三种类型的留学项目

• 交流项目 – Study at a school that has a special agreement with Nebraska Wesleyan either directly or through an exchange network. There are over 200 exchange options to choose from. When a NWU student studies through an exchange program, a student from an exchange university will study here. The benefit is, your tuition doesn't change. You pay the same amount you normally pay Nebraska Wesleyan and receive all awarded financial aid. 另外，你还可以收到一份 额外出国留学补助金.
• 无论项目 – Choose from more study abroad options, because NWU students don't have to swap with a student from another school. With a non-exchange program, students studying will pay their fees directly to the program. This means that students are not able to apply their NWU financial aid. 然而, for those who do not already receive much NWU aid, they may find that some non-exchange programs can be less expensive than exchange programs.
• 教师主导的短期项目 – Study for a shorter amount of time (between two and six weeks) during the summer or winter breaks. These excursions offer between two to six credits depending on the program. Each summer typically features about four to eight different options from a variety of academic departments to a handful of different countries.

其他海外机会

• 在国外实习 - 实习 abroad can be a great way for students to advance their 职业生涯s while exploring another culture. Students who want to pursue internships abroad have a variety of options to choose from. Many study abroad programs offer internships alongside study abroad. Students can find internship opportunities through NWU’s sister schools, ISEP大学, ISA和IES等等.
• 海外学生教学 - Education majors at NWU are required to do student teaching. Students have the option of completing this requirement abroad. STA offers an assortment of countries for students to choose from including Ireland, 澳大利亚, 英格兰和新西兰. STA is beneficial because it functions like an exchange program, in that students pay their normal rates and get their normal financial aid.
• 国外的研究 - The SFCRG is awarded to students and faculty who work together to prepare a research proposal. 如果提案被批准, the student(s) and faculty are awarded the appropriate amount of money to carry out their research including travel expenses. The SFCRG does not have to involve international travel, but if students have a research proposal in mind, this can be an excellent way to fund going abroad. Previous winners of the SFCRG have gone to Cuba, 澳大利亚, 印度, Mexico and Nicaragua and have focused on disciplines such as music, 剧院, 生物学, 现代语言, 政治学等.
• 虚拟国际项目 - 虚拟国际项目 can be a great way for students to gain international experience without leaving their home university. There are several options to become involved in virtual international programs varying from taking courses for credit, 完成实习, 或者参与服务学习. Students who want to pursue a virtual international experience are encouraged to explore the various programs available to them.
