Off-Campus Semester Programs
More than international travel experience, an off-campus semester connects you with cultures, scholars and Christians around the world. From immersive international programs to unique opportunities in our nation’s leading cities, off-campus opportunities offer valuable, life-changing educational experiences.
At Cornerstone University, we believe a cross-cultural study trip that occurs in a Christian context and is motivated by a Christian worldview is the most meaningful kind of semester-abroad experience. That’s why we give priority in financial aid support and student selection to cross-cultural programs that share our Christian mission and educational perspective.
