Berea Term Abroad

Tianna Williams in Ghana, Fall 2007

Berea students have the priceless opportunity to spend an entire Fall or Spring Term studying in a college or university abroad, earning academic credit while experiencing the life and culture of another part of the world. Berea College provides generous financial support to enable students to select a program appropriate for their academic plan from a rich array of international opportunities.

Selecting a Program

We encourage students to consider one of our bilateral exchanges or a Kentucky Institute for International Studies (KIIS) semester program, both of which are especially cost-effective options, but there are also countless other options available through program providers or by direct enrolling in a university abroad. Selecting a suitable program requires thoughtful and careful planning.

The Department of Foreign Languages offers similar financial support for qualified majors. In addition, there are also external scholarships.
