Developing a Global Perspective

What better way to broaden your global perspective — one of Alverno's 8 Abilities — than to pair learning and travel? A number of Alverno courses do just that, capping off a semester's worth of classroom learning with a summer trip abroad.

Alverno's short-term study abroad programs are open to current students and alums. To learn more, visit the International and Intercultural Center.
