Discover Where You Fit in the Larger World
Study abroad programs are incredible opportunities for academic enrichment and personal growth. They challenge your worldview, your preconceptions and your patterns of thinking in ways you might never have imagined.
By adding a study abroad program to your William Jewell experience, you’ll obtain a better understanding of how you and your skills play into the larger community.
Opportunities for Study Abroad
Semester and Year-Long Study
Our semester and year-long study abroad programs have been reviewed by our faculty and staff for academic rigor and student service. You remain enrolled at Jewell, earn Jewell credit and include your grades in your Jewell GPA.
Short-term Summer and Winter Study
For those who need to remain on campus during the semester, such as student athletes or those with rigid course schedules, short-term summer and winter programs are an excellent option. You do not need to select a program from the college-approved programs list.
Cross-Cultural Skills
An opportunity for academic enrichment and personal growth, study abroad also promotes the development of critical thinking, self-reflection and cross-cultural skills you will use long after you’ve returned home. With about 90 approved programs in Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, you can expect an intensive, culturally immersive experience.
