Shenandoah University - Global Citizen Project
Study and Travel Abroad with Shenandoah University
SU’s Global Citizenship Project provides global experiences that encourage students, faculty and staff to gain a greater awareness of themselves and an appreciation for the cultural differences that make our world a better place.
Each spring break, Shenandoah sends 60 selected students, faculty, and staff to international destinations to help broaden their horizons. Applicants sign on without knowing where they will travel—They could be spending spring break anywhere in the world!
GCP removes the boundaries associated with first-time travel, in order to whet the appetites of participants for longer-term learning abroad.
The Global Citizenships Project is all costs included for participants!
“Today, my GCP group and I visited a university class in Spain that was learning the English language. It was so easy to connect with these students no matter our backgrounds, ages, and beliefs. I had such a great time learning about these students and connecting to them on a level that I have never thought I could with someone in a different country. I felt like I was able to open myself up to these students and express myself in so many different was through my conversations with them. To be able to do that in a foreign country is a privilege to me and I can’t express how much I love my experience in Spain!"
“My experience is absolutely incredible. I have made really incredible friends, like friends that I’m closer to than people I’ve known since elementary school. I’m so thankful I came alone from SU it really forced me to branch out and stretch my comfort zone a bit. I’m actually going to Paris this weekend with a group of 13 Americans for my birthday!"
“To anyone who is ever given the opportunity to study abroad: I highly encourage you to take the journey. Not only have I seen things that take my breath away, but I have also made some pretty great friends along the way.”
“I traveled to Bhutan on the GCP trip! It was really eye-opening to see such an economically underdeveloped country be so prosperous in its inter-citizen community, and be more advanced than Western culture in teaching that you don't have to be monetarily wealthy to live a happy life."
I traveled to Brazil with the nursing program on a medical mission trip down the Amazon River. I also went to Rwanda through the GCP program. In Rwanda we visited a school that I worked with in high school, so I finally got to meet all of the kids that I had been working with from 6,000 miles away for my entire high school experience. Both experiences were extremely humbling and have shaped me into the person I am today.

You don’t need to be an expert in another language to participate in study abroad. Many courses are available in English. With advanced planning with your Academic and Education Abroad Advisors, the classes you take abroad will count as course credits toward your major or general education requirements.
Study abroad experiences are affordable! Financial aid applies to your study abroad experience, so studying abroad is often the same cost as tuition at Shenandoah University. Usually, student's only extra expense is airfare to reach your destination.
Make studying abroad the highlight of your college experience! Whether you go for a year, a semester, or just a few weeks, you will never forget learning in another culture!
