Study Abroad

All majors are required to complete an immersion experience prior to their last semester at Union. We offer a number of locations world-wide! More information is available at the Institute for International and Intercultural Studies.

Start planning for your immersion experience as a Freshman. Your advisor will help you select an appropriate program for your level of proficiency and interests. Service learning opportunities are also an option for fulfilling the immersion experience requirement. Those who are interested in furthering their international experience toward a graduate degree are encouraged to also take a look at Union’s Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies.
