Studying education in Italy, business in Germany and service learning in Kenya—among other experiential learning adventures—Adelphi students and faculty are recommitting to global learning.
Faculty-led study abroad programs are short-term programs and an excellent way to earn Adelphi credit and study a special topic with an Adelphi professor in a new cultural context.
In the above video, enthusiastic Adelphi students who took a 1-credit service-learning course in Kenya talk about being engaged with children at the Caroline Home—an orphanage and school founded by Anne Mungai, Adelphi’s associate provost for strategic initiatives and graduate studies.
Xiao-lei Wang, PhD, the dean of Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences (CEHS), guided a team of Adelphi pupils on an excursion to Italy. In the video “Following in the Footsteps of Educational Thinkers,” Dr. Wang stated that the College has a philosophy of “expanding the classroom to the world.” During the journey, CEHS students visited various destinations, including Rome, Pompeii, Florence, Pisa, and Venice.
We hope you will take advantage of the virtual international education opportunities below that allow you to gain global perspectives, and think about where you may study abroad in the future.
