Immersing yourself in new cultures and navigating life in a foreign country allows you to expand the boundaries of your mind and gain new perspectives on the world. You’ll develop a deeper appreciation for diversity and become a more adaptable and open-minded individual.

Studying abroad provides you with unique opportunities to develop your professional skills and enhance your career prospects—employers value the global competencies and intercultural communication skills gained through international experience. You’ll stand out in job interviews and open doors to exciting career opportunities.

By studying abroad, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge yourself, grow personally and academically, and create lifelong memories. The lessons you learn and the friendships you make are invaluable.

Champlain offers faculty-led courses that typically take place during a break or over a couple weeks in the summer. They often involve intensive learning experiences where a semester course is condensed into a two to three week experience. You’ll participate in field trips, workshops, cultural immersions, and hands-on projects that complement the course curriculum.

Faculty-led courses offer an exceptional opportunity to delve deeply into specific topics while experiencing firsthand the cultural and social aspects of the host country.

International internships provide an invaluable opportunity for you to enhance your professional skills and personal development while experiencing the culture and work practices of a different country. Champlain Abroad takes the lead in providing a variety of professional development opportunities during your semester abroad. These include internships, conferences, company visits, and networking events with industry experts.

Internships can be arranged as part of an approved study abroad program or as a “stand-alone” opportunity, allowing you to gain real-world experience without having to enroll in courses at the host institution.

Champlain has a partnership with five international schools. Our exchange programs offer you, as a Burlington student, the opportunity to live and study at partner institutions in New Zealand, Scotland, the Bahamas, or the Netherlands. These exchange partnerships also enrich the Burlington campus by hosting students from international partner schools for a semester or full academic year.

The exchange experience also contributes to your personal and academic growth by allowing you to access specialized courses, explore different academic approaches, and engage with new perspectives.
