Study Abroad Programs
To stimulate interest in international perspectives, and to heighten the global understanding of students, Texas Lutheran sponsors several study abroad programs. Programs and details change frequently. Students should consult the director or assistant director of international education for the most current information.
Center for Global Education The university is affiliated with Augsburg College's Center for Global Education, which has programs in Cuernavaca, Mexico and Windhoek, Namibia (in southwestern Africa). Both programs focus on peace and justice and women's issues and include home stays and travel to Central America and South Africa. The courses repeat each fall and spring semester.

Located in Iowa, Central College has one of the country's oldest liberal arts-oriented study-abroad programs, combining language and regular coursework at some of the best universities in major European capitals, such as London, Paris and Vienna. Central College also has a program in Spanish in Granada, Spain, as well programs taught in English in Carmarthen, Wales, Leiden, the Netherlands, and Mérida Mexico. Summer internships and courses are also available in Spain, England, Kenya, and Wales.

USFQ is one of the first liberal arts universities in Latin America. Students can take a variety of courses taught in the Spanish language. USFQ also offers a summer program in the Galapagos Islands for students interested in marine environment, anthropology and the interaction between local coastal communities and their environment.

A student remains enrolled in his or her home institution for purposes of tuition and fees. In recent years, students have studied as ISEP students in countries including Australia, Hong Kong, England, Finland, Ghana, New Zealand and Spain. Many of the ISEP schools have programs with courses taught in English. Some summer study is possible.

Courses taught in English that are available include business, economics and history, as well as introductory courses in Japanese language and culture. This program is particularly well suited for business and economics majors.
