Study Abroad — Social Work

Want to see the world? Why wait?

Champlain makes it easy to embark on a life-changing semester (or two) in distant areas of the globe. All our majors are designed to accommodate a semester studying in a foreign country. With Champlain Abroad Dublin, Champlain Abroad Montreal, exchange programs, and third-party programs, the possibilities are nearly limitless for exploring unique landscapes and different cultures. 

In addition to taking classes and living in a new place, studying abroad is an opportunity to confront your own assumptions, meet new people, embrace curiosity, and gain a richer understanding of the world by truly realizing what it means to see from a global perspective.

Wherever you'd like to go, your advisors will work with you to ensure your study-abroad experience suits your interests and fulfills your academic goals and requirements.

Champlain Abroad Dublin

Social Work students study abroad in the spring semester of their third year.

Dublin is an active, energetic, capital city with a young population and a friendly town feel. Despite the relaxed atmosphere, Dublin is a hub for global corporations as well as small start-up companies—rich with history, it is the political, cultural, and economic center for Ireland. Students in Dublin enroll in at least 15 credits to comply with Irish Immigration. EHS Division students are encouraged to enroll in a rewarding international service-learning course (EHS 300) that connects in-depth community involvement with academic learning through field placements.
