The World is Your Classroom
We are proud of the global experiences our students have had through the Study Abroad program! These past programs and experiences represent the kind of hands-on, faith-informed learning we'll continue to build upon as we expand the program.
Recent destinations have included:
Each trip combined academic study with real-world cultural immersion, led by Roberts faculty who connected classroom learning to global experience.
While new Study Abroad opportunities are being reviewed, we invite you to read about past student stories, explore faculty-led course highlights, and imagine where Roberts could take you next.
My Lithuanian study abroad program was the highlight of my college career and opened up the world for me. I crossed the continent of Europe, from sunny warm beaches of Barcelona, Spain to snowy and cold squares of Moscow, Russia. I had the opportunity to do my internship as a coordinator of the Global Leadership Summit Lithuania and started a version of Enactus on that campus.I made friends that I Skype with and plan to visit. I learned more about myself and my identity as a result of this study abroad experience.

What a journey it was to get to know these wonderful people! I thank God every day for giving me the opportunity to go to India and experience a new culture.Two days out of the week, I would go for field work and visit rural communities. I remember playing, dancing, and singing with some of the children. I even remember singing the Irish song, “May the Road Rise Up To Meet You.”I also learned how to say "what is your name?” in the Tamil language. The smiles on the women’s faces always made my heart melt.

Semester Abroad Experiences
Scholars who sought academic rigor joined the Scholars’ Semester in Oxford, where they engaged with leading Western thinkers at the historic Oxford University.
Others participated in the Oxford Summer Programme, sharpening their thinking and exploring the relationship between Christianity and the British Isles while visiting cultural landmarks across the UK and Europe.
Through the Middle East Studies Program, students immersed themselves in the daily life, language, food, culture, and politics of one of the world’s oldest cities.
They learned directly from locals, building community while studying and serving in the heart of the Middle East.
At LCC International University, students took courses in English alongside classmates from over 30 countries. Field trips and weekend excursions helped them discover Eastern Europe’s art, culture, and history from a fresh perspective.
Spanish majors and minors experienced full immersion in language and culture by living with host families, taking classes in Spanish, and spending weekends exploring the countryside or nearby European cities.
