Students at Missouri Southern State University will have a chance to explore opportunities to broaden their horizons during the Study Abroad Fair from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11, in Billingsly Student Center’s Connor Ballroom.
Presented by the Institute of International Studies, the fair will spotlight the faculty-led, short-term trips scheduled for 2016 as well as opportunities for students to spend an entire semester or year abroad through the International Student Exchange Program, the Missouri London program and Missouri Southern’s partner universities.
The faculty-led trips are for academic credit. Missouri Southern students who have a 2.5 GPA and full-time status are eligible for $1,000 study abroad grants.
Opportunities include Community Health in the British Virgin Islands (March 10-18), Contemporary Art & Design in the United Kingdom (March 15-26), Literary Paris (May 14-25) and Law & Order: United Kingdom Edition (May 15-25).
