Summer Study Abroad

There are 3 options for summer study abroad at Gordon College:

1. International Seminars through the Global Education Office. Consult the Global Education Office website for international summer seminar offerings and program details. Go to International Seminar and Summer programs.  
2. Summer programs with Gordon Approved Partners. This includes programs like the Oregon Extension's May Term, summer courses at JUC, or the CCCU's Summer Programme in Oxford. Check out the list on the GEO program homepage.
   
3. A summer program with a non-approved program

Students majoring in Youth Ministry and Social Work who are interested in Summer Practicums should start by talking to their departments.
