Study Abroad

CIU students can participate in a variety of of study abroad programs. Students who study abroad can expect to forge lasting friendships, gain​ global perspective and — best of all — deepen their ability to make an impact for Christ. The most popular programs are offered through other Christian universities and organizations: 

• Los Angeles - L.A. Film Studies Center
• Nashville - Greenville University's Contemporary Music Center
• Oxford, England - Scholarship & Christianity SEMESTER Programme  
• Oxford, England - Scholarship & Christianity SUMMER Programme
• Seville - Semester in Spain through Trinity Christian College
• Uganda - Uganda Studies at Uganda Christian University 

Study Tours

Study tours are credit-bearing courses that allow you to experience other cultures without spending an entire semester away. These faculty led tours are about two weeks and often in May. 

Mission Trips

Sharing and experiencing God’s love while immersed in another culture can be a life-changing experience. Individual credit-bearing courses are offered by some majors and are designed to teach you how to plan and conduct short-term mission trips.

Internships

Talk to your academic advisor to explore the possibilities of internships and study abroad programs.

Financial Aid

CIU institutional financial aid does not apply to study abroad programs. Most federal and state grants and loans are applicable to study abroad options. Students may consult with the Financial Aid Office on the financial aid resources available to help cover the cost of these programs.
