Study Abroad
Engage your world
Prepare to thrive in the ever-changing, global network. Don't just read about other cultures – encounter them firsthand.
We make your overseas experience affordable and convenient. U.S. News & World Report ranks George Fox among the top 40 schools in the country in study abroad participation.
Juniors Abroad
These three-week trips – with airfare and program costs funded by the university – include the guidance of faculty mentors. Study Renaissance Europe history in Paris. Learn Swahili and peace-building in Africa. Explore ancient pyramids in Egypt. Recent teams traveled to Rwanda, Ireland, Costa Rica, Rome, Paris, China, Egypt, Berlin and more.
Semester Abroad
Spend a whole semester overseas. Join a service trip with GoED International to address poverty and injustice. Learn advanced Spanish and experience the rich culture of Spain. Study environmental science and sustainable development in Costa Rica.
George Fox students have studied a full term on every continent but Antarctica. Travel and program costs for Semester Abroad are shared by George Fox.
Summer Serve
Be a global agent of change. Our students have served on short-term mission trips to South Africa, Thailand, Malawi, Russia, Romania, Jamaica, Cuba, Brazil, India and the Philippines.
You'll leave for Summer Serve expecting to share God’s love. Most likely, you’ll receive more than you give.
