Short-Term Study Abroad Programs

We offer study abroad programs to help broaden students’ perspectives in Thailand, South Korea, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the United States. Our students experience life and nursing in local communities under the guidance of instructors. They also interact with people of different ages and learn about different lifestyles and ways of thinking.
