One of the most transformative classrooms for Muhlenberg students is the one that’s nowhere near campus.

Studying off campus internationally (abroad) or domestically (away) broadens horizons, fosters cultural understanding and prepares students to thrive in a highly interconnected world. At Muhlenberg, we encourage all of our students, regardless of major or minor, to study abroad. This can mean taking an entire semester's worth of classes at one of several hundred institutions around the world, completing coursework with a Muhlenberg faculty-led short-term or long-term study abroad, or spending time exploring a region of our own country through a domestic study away course.

Muhlenberg faculty and the Global Education staff are dedicated to ensuring that students have access to these life-changing experiences.

An Unforgettable Experience

Students who study abroad or away can experience a shift in perspective that opens the door to intellectual and personal adventures. Find out more about the opportunities available at Muhlenberg.
