Explore your world, change your world view

At PLU you'll find many opportunities to study off campus, both globally and locally, for a semester, a year, the summer or over J-Term. Students from all majors have studied a vast range of subjects on study away programs. They have studied ecosystems in the mountain peaks of New Zealand and analyzed business trends in China. They have explored nature and literature in Ecuador and economic development and human rights in South Africa. Where will you go?
