Thiel College helps qualified students spend up to two semesters at a foreign university and to apply credit from study abroad toward a Thiel degree. Any such program, including courses taken for Thiel credit, must be pre-authorized by the appropriate department or the dean of the College.

Credits and grades earned will be transferred to Thiel. Foreign grading and credit systems will be converted into Thiel credits and grades. No credits will be granted without grades. Grades of C minus or higher will be accepted for transfer credit.

Interested students should consult the study abroad coordinator as early as possible, preferably a year ahead of travel. Students should work with their adviser to arrange course schedules so as to integrate the courses taken abroad into their college and major requirements.

The world is your classroom.

These courses are taught or directly supervised by Thiel faculty members in a variety of foreign countries. The emphasis is on academic studies, field trips and foreign culture. Programs vary from year to year and generally run from one to four weeks. Students and faculty travel together as a group. Credits, tuition and financial aid are the same as for on-campus courses, but an extra fee is added to cover travel costs. A limited number of 50 percent tuition waivers, awarded on a competitive application basis, are available each summer.

You can afford to explore the world! Endowed scholarships can help defray the cost of study abroad. Contact the study abroad coordinator to explore how to finance your global adventure.
