Study Abroad

Learn world history by seeing it for yourself ... study abroad for the summer, a semester or the year in countries all around the globe as part of one of Tennessee Wesleyan's international programs.

The Study Abroad Program allows Tennessee Wesleyan College students to study and learn in other countries. Each program is coordinated through TWC, so your credits may count toward graduation, and you can take your financial assistance with you if you study abroad during the school year.

For students who wish to continue their Spanish studies in a Spanish-speaking country, Tennessee Wesleyan College is an affiliate of The Center for Cross-Cultural Studies, which has sites for students to study in Córdoba, Argentina, as well as in Seville and Alicante, Spain. Semester programs and summer programs are available.  Satisfactory work in courses taken in any of the programs offered by CC-CS will be accepted for transfer as part of the requirements for completing a degree at Tennessee Wesleyan College. Students may use financial aid for which they are eligible to help pay the costs of the program. This program facilitates cultural integration, service learning opportunities, and internships; for more advanced students, courses may be taken at Argentine or Spanish universities with whom the CC-CS partners. Interested students should explore the program options and talk with either Lynne Gylani or Elizabeth Ruleman (both in the Department of English and Foreign Languages) about this opportunity.

The Mission Statement of the Center for Cross-Cultural Studies is as follows: The mission of the Center for Cross-Cultural Study is to promote our students’ in-depth understanding of Spanish-speaking countries through specifically designed and academically rigorous university-level and cultural travel programs. All of our students cross cultural boundaries to live as members of another culture and thus to learn about others as they learn about themselves.
