Study abroad is one of the most enriching and enlightening experiences a university can offer. By experiencing new places and cultures, students receive first-hand exposure to different ways of thinking, promoting personal, professional, and social maturity. Stepping out into the world encourages students to develop highly valued life skills ranging from intercultural communication to critical thinking in problem solving. It is an adventurer’s dream.
This interdisciplinary study abroad program nurtures the collaborative spirit we strive to embody at Carson-Newman University. After choosing from a list of courses across a range of disciplines, students will experience a European trip from the perspective of their course as well as through an interdisciplinary lens. This is yet another way Carson-Newman University distinguishes itself as an excellent teaching school. Such an innovative, interdisciplinary study abroad program will help C-N Eagles to become the educated citizens and worldwide servant leaders we wish them to be.
