»Types of Study Abroad Programs

A semester-long study abroad program is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in an unknown culture, learn about how the rest of the world lives, and learn a new language.

Taking an interterm or summer travel course might be the perfect option for you if you are a double major, are nervous about leaving the country for a whole semester, or feel like your schedule is exceptionally busy.

On an interterm or summer travel course, you will get the perfect taste of life abroad while fulfilling 3 credits, and not spending more than 2-3 weeks out of the country. There are countless different countries you can visit and subjects you can learn about all just an application away. These courses often require a separate application and an extra fee for your expenses abroad, but these are well worth the experiences and memories you will gain.

Besides the traditional study abroad approaches, Chapman also provides opportunities for students to have internships abroad to help them fulfill their career goals. The countries may vary every year based on needs. Previous countries that have supplied internships include Australia, Ireland (Dublin), Spain(Madrid), New Zealand, China(Shanghai), Chile(Santiago), France(Cannes) and Prague.*

After your application to the Chapman Center of Global Education gets accepted, you will be connected with ISA or EUSA for your actual job application. You will have an individual program manager who will ask you about your career objectives and the types of jobs you want. After they confirmed this with you, they will help you find the company abroad which best fits your needs. They also provide training for resume, cover letter, and interviews to assist you to get the job. This is a great opportunity for you to explore the cultural differences in the workplace and get the upper-division internship credits at the same time.
