If you\u2019re researching the best study abroad programs in the country,<\/em> you\u2019ll see the same promises everywhere: travel the world, earn credit, expand your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s the thing \u2014 at Transylvania University, studying abroad isn\u2019t a side trip. It\u2019s part of who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t just send students away for a few weeks. We build global citizens who come home with new confidence, sharper curiosity and a stronger sense of purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Big world. Top college. Huge opportunity.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As one of the nation\u2019s top liberal arts colleges \u2014 and one of the oldest universities west of the Alleghenies \u2014 Transy has a long tradition of preparing students for the wider world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That tradition now stretches across more than 40 countries through GlobalTransy, our portfolio of semester programs designed for every kind of student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference? Personalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Transy, you\u2019ll work one-on-one with professors and the Office of Global and Intercultural Engagement to find a program that fits your goals, major and budget. Whether it\u2019s studying marine biology in Belize, politics in London or marketing in Germany, you\u2019ll earn full credit and stay on track to graduate in four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goal is to provide a diversity of opportunities abroad so that students can not only expand their academic knowledge but also have experiences that transform them as people,\u201d says Rachel Wilson, Transy\u2019s director of global and intercultural engagement. \u201cThis cultural immersion is important for students to gain confidence, independence and a deeper understanding of the world and of themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
