Study Abroad

Study of and in other cultures can be a significant part of a liberal education. Greensboro College therefore encourages its students to participate in its programs of study abroad. Details about the individual programs, along with information on how to apply for them, are available from the Study Abroad Advisor. Students also should consult with a Greensboro College faculty member in the intended discipline of study.

Summer Study Abroad

Through its own summer school, Greensboro College offers to qualified students a for-credit program involving travel and study abroad. Typically students enroll for a five-week summer session, some portion of which is spent abroad.

North Carolina Semester in Paris

Greensboro College is a member of the North Carolina Semester in Paris Consortium. Other member institutions are the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Guilford College, High Point University, East Carolina University and Elon University; the Consortium is administered by the Office of International Programs at UNC-W and is directed by the program director, who resides in Paris. Courses are taught by the program director, and occasionally courses are taught by faculty from the member institutions.

The Semester in Paris program is offered in the fall of each year. If there is sufficient enrollment, a Spring Semester program is offered.

Any students who have completed at least two semesters of college-level French and who have an overall grade point average of at least 2.75 are eligible to participate in the Semester in Paris program. Students who complete the program may receive 15-18 semester hours credit.

Total cost for the program includes tuition, housing and some meals, and selected excursions in and around Paris.

For further information about the North Carolina Semester in Paris, contact the Study Abroad Advisor, or the faculty in French.
