Global Study Programs

Your global adventure starts at Bushnell University. As a part of the larger global community, Bushnell University provides our students with dynamic opportunities to experience the world through global programs and study abroad.

Aside from providing a great travel experience, participation in global programs can produce significant returns on your investment for your academic, personal, and professional life. Take advantage of Bushnell’s life-changing international learning opportunities. 

Global Initiative

Bushnell University has joined the Institute of International Education’s Generation Study Abroad initiative to help more Americans gain international experience through study abroad programs.

IIE’s Generation Study Abroad initiative seeks to mobilize resources and commitments with the goal of doubling and diversifying the number of U.S. students studying abroad by the end of the decade

Faculty-Led Study Abroad Trips

Students join their favorite Bushnell University faculty each summer on short-term study abroad experiences to various locations for approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Tuition for these programs includes:

  • 3-6 Bushnell University semester credits
  • Housing and meals
  • Excursion costs (i.e. entrance fees)

International Exchange

Bushnell students can experience a full semester abroad through one of our partnering organizations (World Strides and CCCU Global Ed) or through an approved Bushnell program (contact the study abroad director for more information).

Classes are taught in English and available for students in any major. Dankook University offers a wide range of courses taught entirely in English through the Department of International Business.

  • housing
  • course registration
  • pre-planned excursions
  • in-country support

Questions About Study Abroad

Many students don’t pursue studying abroad because they assume the cost is too high. However, finances do not need to be a barrier. With a wide array of help available, many students have studied abroad for the same cost or less than a semester at Bushnell University.

Bushnell University offers scholarships to select applicants for study abroad and global programs. Additionally, students can apply for study abroad scholarships available through Gilman International and other grant-providing organizations.

Common Financial Options

Students can find more detailed information on financial aid and scholarships in the Global Programs & Study Abroad Portal on My.Bushnell. We recommend interested students meet with their financial aid counselors to further discover what specific options may be available.

Aside from providing a great travel experience, participation in global programs can produce significant returns on your investment for your academic, personal, and professional life. A sampling of recent trips include: England, Chile, Mexico, Italy, and Spain.

There are countless personal, educational, and career benefits to studying abroad. One significant value to studying abroad is its competitive advantage in the job search process. In an increasingly global workforce, employers are seeking out candidates with international experience.

73% of employers say study abroad is important when evaluating resumes of junior-level position candidates.

90% of employers believe that students who have studied abroad are likely to possess highly desirable skills.

Students should consult their academic advisor and the off-campus study program coordinator to discuss the application of credit towards degree requirements. Students are encouraged to pick a program that offers courses that will meet their Bushnell University requirements.
