The Abbey Program                  

The Vision
Students
In its effort to establish a new paradigm in global education, The Eur-Am Center is partnering with educational facilities around the world to develop a unique concept in study-abroad learning for students: "The Abbey: A New School of Thought." The Abbey provides the platform for an educational journey and an innovative approach to cultural immersion. Focusing on the needs of globally ambitious undergraduates, The Abbey program is committed to delivering excellence in international education across the entire academic spectrum. The Abbey program's innovative interdisciplinary approach to global learning challenges the notion that students often jeopardize college credits and/or becoming fluent in a foreign language to experience cultural immersion.
Class
  • Exposure to another culture is valuable at any stage of a college career, but especially so at the freshman and sophomore levels, as insights gained can enrich the balance of the college experience.
  • Courses are taught in English at The Abbey, except for optional French and other foreign language courses offered to all students at all levels.
  • Students take a full academic load of between 12 and 18 credit hours per semester in an American university system, and the credits are fully transferable.
  • Field research and study trips are integral to the academic experience.
  • The pedagogy features team teaching, involving two or more faculty, who often approach the subject matter from different disciplinary perspectives.
