Nebraska Wesleyan University
University Information
Nebraska Wesleyan University educates students to become thoughtful citizens and successful leaders. That’s why our general education curriculum is entitled, “Preparing for Global Citizenship.” We believe that students need to explore the world and its peoples to understand their place in that world; this exploration helps them communicate across borders, contribute to the solution of complex issues, and leave the world a better place than they found it.
Nebraska Wesleyan realizes that cost is a major factor in the decision to study abroad. That’s why we belong to the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP) where NWU students can study abroad for the same price as studying on campus. That’s also true for exchange study at our three sister universities in Japan (Kwansei Gakuin University), Mexico (Tec de Monterrey in Querétaro) and Estonia (University of Tartu).
In addition, the International Education Office awards Education Abroad Grants to students with financial need who want to study abroad on exchange programs or faculty–led study abroad trips. The International Education Office also assists students to apply for other study abroad scholarships and grants.
Nebraska Wesleyan offers a full range of study abroad options so that every student has the opportunity to study abroad. These options range from "island programs" where students travel together with a Nebraska Wesleyan professor for two to three weeks to a full year of "immersion" where students study with native students in the classroom.

I feel much more prepared for whatever I choose to do in life, because I am more independent and know what I can accomplish when I am in a new environment.

Kara H Nebraska Wesleyan University
"There was a lot for me to overcome, so it took me a long time to adjust, and I don't know if I ever did completely. I never felt grounded with a network or friends while in India. I did not feel connected to the rest of campus. However, I learned so much about ideals and mentalities, and how judgmental we accidentally are. I lea..."
Kelsey A Nebraska Wesleyan University
"It was an excellent way to learn German. When you are forced to speak another language you learn very quickly. Also Germany was a nice central location in Europe for traveling around the continent. "
Scott H Nebraska Wesleyan University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I would change my advisor and school, but ISEP was so great and the Mexican people were fabulous--and Inger was beyond incredible. I learned that I, not only, need to be more educated about what's going on in the world, but also what's going on in the states. I considered myself to be politically..."

"I gained some really close friends. Although I didnt aquire the Spanish language as well as I had hoped to, I still learned a lot. Especially about the culture. I really enjoyed traveling and that my boyfriend came to visit. I would study abroad again but not through a program and or stay with a host family. "
Hannah B Nebraska Wesleyan University
"No matter where you go, studying in a different country away from your friends and family is a unique experience that will change you.

Lesley D Nebraska Wesleyan University
"It's one of those experiences in which I'm glad I did it but I would do some (not all) things differently. My main problem was that there was no socializing without alcohol, but that's just me and I'm sure it's not exclusive to Masaryk University."
