Study Away

Elon Global Engagement

Global engagement is central to Elon’s student experience. The university is consistently ranked among the top programs in the nation with a No. 1 ranking in the Institute of International Education’s annual Open Doors Report for its study abroad participation rate. Seventy-six percent of students have at least one global study experience, often combined with internships, research or service. In addition, Elon’s Study USA program includes opportunities to study in Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Hawaii, Alaska and other locations.

We are excited to build upon the University’s global commitment in the MHE Program. Go beyond the classroom learn more about global education at Elon University by visiting the Isabella Cannon Global Education website.

Elon MHE Global Education Experience

As an Elon MHE student, you have the opportunity to deepen your global education experience. During your second year of the MHE program, you will participate in a winter term study away experience. There is no additional charge for this global experience.

Here are the study away trips for the Elon MHE program:

• Winter 2025 São Paulo, Brazil
• Winter 2024 Italy
• Winter 2023 Denmark and Sweden
• Winter 2022 Puerto Rico
• Spring 2021 Asheville, NC (a result of COVID travel restrictions)
• Winter 2020 Japan

Going to Japan was an experience of a lifetime. It opened my eyes to international education and energized me to learn more about the globalization of higher education, and how U.S institutions recruit and receive international students. Visiting institutions and talking with professionals doing the same work in different contexts is something I refer to often in my work.
