Global Focus
Become a Citizen of the World
Nazareth offers multiple ways to gain the global dexterity that's essential in many careers and in understanding our world today.
Study abroad
Few college graduates have had an international experience. Gaining one helps you stand out when you apply to graduate school or enter the workforce. Nazareth's short-term and long-term study abroad programs through our Center for International Education span the globe, allowing you to immerse yourself in another language and culture and enhance your confidence and independence. You can even participate in a professional internship abroad. If you want to study where there isn't an established program, we'll work with you to make it possible. And don't worry, you can take your federal aid and scholarships with you. Nazareth also supports students seeking competitive Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarships.
