Study Abroad

Truman offers many opportunities for students to study abroad. Please see the Courses section of this catalog for Truman-sponsored course and program details.

MISSION STATEMENT

With change being a constant in our lives, higher education takes on greater significance in preparing students to meet new and unexpected challenges. One challenge involves enriching the global perspective of the curriculum. Truman recognizes its responsibility to Missouri, the nation, and the world in preparing students who possess international understanding and potential for leadership. The University also recognizes that worldwide understanding is a characteristic of liberally educated persons.

Truman recognizes that boundaries between peoples, cultures and countries of the world are becoming less significant. Therefore, the realities and possibilities of globalizing the Truman curriculum at home and abroad will be explored. Expansion of foreign language and culture programs, additional exchange agreements with international institutions, increases in the number of international scholars and students coming to the Truman campus, and increases in the number of Truman students and faculty participating in study abroad programs are identified means of promoting international understanding.

ALL STUDY ABROAD EXPERIENCES APPROVED FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT AT TRUMAN FULFILL THE INTERCULTURAL REQUIREMENT OF THE LIBERAL STUDIES PROGRAM.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS

Truman is continually trying to improve existing programs and develop new ones. Students are therefore encouraged to contact the Center for International Education to get the latest information on Truman study abroad programs. The Center will also provide information regarding how study abroad program credits can be applied to the core curriculum requirement, the foreign language requirement, or in some cases the major requirement. Since it takes a long time to plan and finance a study abroad experience, students are strongly encouraged to find out about these exciting opportunities early, perhaps in their freshman year. The Center for International Education is located in Kirk Building 114, telephone 785-4076 and e-mail ciea@truman.edu.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

These programs are the most affordable of all study abroad programs; however, they are generally highly selective, often with very specific requirements, and taught in the language of the country at a local accredited institution of higher education. The following programs are sponsored either by International Student Exchange Program (I.S.E.P.) or by Truman State University. The cost to the student is the cost of his/her tuition at Truman State plus room and board in the host country and transportation to and from the host country. For specific information regarding these programs including the cost, please contact the Center for International Education.
