Travel Study

Become a global citizen at Piedmont University! Piedmont University offers its undergraduate students short and long term Travel/Study opportunities to enrich their academic programs, language skills, historical knowledge, cultural awareness, and personal sense of independence.

Maymester Trips

Each May, students travel for 7 – 14 days with two Piedmont University faculty members to a domestic or international location. In recent years, Piedmont students have studied internationally in Peru, Germany, the Czech Republic, Japan, Spain, England, Ireland, and Scotland while domestic trips have taken students to the US southwest, Pacific northwest, the northeast, California, and Alaska. Because trips change annually, some students participate in multiple Maymester experiences over the course of their college career. It's a great way to earn college credit and see the world.

Semester Abroad

Some students want to travel longer than a Maymester; they participate in 1 of Piedmont University's 3 semester abroad opportunities.

• Located in a vibrant urban area in England, The University of Nottingham is a world-class research university housing one of the best business schools in the world. They accept students with all majors, so don't hesitate to apply.
• The University of Paderborn in Germany requires a month long intensive German language course before students begin their studies IN ENGLISH; this is an excellent opportunity to jump-start those transferable language skills for a career in international studies or with a multinational corporation.
• Live and study in a magnificent old castle at Harlaxton University in England. This amazing facility supports students in all majors, but special emphasis is given to British Studies. History, humanities, and fine arts students will find this program particularly attractive.

Make this your goal: experience the advantage of a travel/study opportunity at least once during your college career.
