Trinity University
University Information
The Study Abroad program at Trinity University is designed to be accessible and flexible. With proper planning, students from every major can study abroad productively in many different countries around the world as a part of their degree.
This is possible because Trinity's program is based on individually advising each student so that the term abroad becomes an integral part of the degree that meets academic, personal, and professional goals. As a result Trinity students participate in a wide variety of academic experiences abroad from studying in a foreign university classroom to academic internships to intensive language study to field studies - or a some combination of these things.

"My study abroad experience was more than worthwhile. It completely changed my perspective on China and my future career path. I discovered my interest in public health through the research I conducted at IES, and am pursuing a research grant to go back to China post-graduation. I have a new, deeper understanding of Chinese cultu..."

Tommy Y Trinity University
"The UK may seem very similar to the US but there are so many cultural differences that I never predicted. I was exposed to so many new things and it opened my eyes in so many ways. "
Ella R Trinity University
"Even though I may choose a different program, I would never trade the friendships I made abroad. I met the most wonderful people and they really made the experience worthwhile.

"better spanish and a better grasp on south american culture"
Samantha S Trinity University
"I gained a new understanding of the world. I learned I could be independent and self-sufficient. I am now more confidence in myself and my ability to adapt to the world around me. "
Briana F Trinity University
"This is not an overstatement: If I could trace my current life, its tragectory, my passions, and my future back to one singular experience, it would undeniably be this semester abroad. CGE helped me harnass my passions and narrow my professional focus towards a career that is meaningful and fits me well. Since my abroad experi..."
Austin B Trinity University
"My study abroad experience was much different from most due to previous study/work abroad experiences. Semester at Sea provided me with the opportunity to explore and learn about a multitude of different cultures and their interrelatedness. My experience further confirmed my future plans to work internationally upon graduating f..."
Casey K Trinity University
"My cultural awareness has honestly skyrocketed; I think that if I had to sum it up in one word, the thing Dakar gave me most was perspecive. I really enjoyed almost everything I did in Senegal, and I am also pleased that my passion for my proposed career is even stronger after my semester abroad. I will not, however, be joining ..."
Liz M Trinity University
"It opened my eyes to a lot of the possibilities out there in the world, and also how many hardships people and countries are going through. It also made me appreciate the U.S. and my own luxuries more."
Haley R Trinity University

Nicole B Trinity University
"Well, my future plans are to study abroad there again. I enjoyed being in a historically-rich country."
Elisa R Trinity University
"cultural relativism for me is no longer a given. I grapple everyday with gender and my ferocity for equality and being in the middle east put that into a very distinct perspective. There are no hard and fast answers and I haven't found any but I'll continue having conversations about it and trying to figure things out for the re..."
Sarah D Trinity University
"I gained more of an understanding and tolerance for the sort of people who like to drink frequently and a deep appreciation for the history and beauty of England."
Connor G Trinity University
"It was a wonderful experience no doubt. It taught me that the littlest things can have the biggest impact, it taught me to take chances, and try things I've never even thought to try. This is corny, but there will always be a special place in my heart for Costa Rica."
Laura C Trinity University
"It was extremely worthwhile. This experience opened my eyes to the Australian culture. Working in Australia also may have changed my future plans. I wouldn't mind working in Australia since I was offered a part-time position after my internship ended."
Adam K Trinity University
"It was an experience that I won't forget and will definitely take from."
Jenny W Trinity University
"For me seeing and walking on the context of my Classical/Medieval and Renaissance/Art History as well as seeing new art and Classical stuff was exactly what I wanted and got. Overall I understood why Rome became such a magnet as I became addicted to seeing at least 1 new cultural wonder a day. A confidence in travel, a tolerance..."
Elizabeth W Trinity University
"My experience with Brazil was incredible. I connected with the local culture, became fluent in Portuguese and made many friends. But this had nothing to do with the SIT program. The program was very frusterating, disorganized and many of the activities were an absolute waste of time. Our final projects were poorly monitored ..."
Kathryn S Trinity University
"Absolutely. Again, this study abroad experience is great for students that are proactive and willing to work hard. I learned a lot through volunteering outside of school and engaging my host family. I hope to go back soon."
Kathryn S Trinity University
"I've always been adventurous, but I am even more so now. After driving through the worst weather I could ever imagine on windy roads on the left side of the road and camping out in random places along the way I have become much more comfortable with spontaneity and with talking with the people I meet along the way. Half the adve..."
