Global Service Learning – Internship Overseas

This distinctive option in the study abroad initiative enables a student to complete an internship overseas while taking online classes at LeTourneau. Global Service Learning allows students to have the flexibility to go anywhere to complete an internship abroad while also getting full credits for the semester by taking online courses. The possibility to gain hands-on experience as an intern across the globe will give students a unique experience of learning for the future.
 

Culture & Language –  International Class Trips

Perhaps a semester abroad seems a bit daunting, but traveling abroad is still an interest. The great news is that LeTourneau offers several trips that can satisfy course credit and provide short-term cultural immersion. These trips are usually available during the summer, Christmas Break, or Spring Break, and provide students the interactions in a different country that they would never experience in a classroom setting.
