CCCU GlobalEd is a collection of faith-integrated, off-campus study programs that foster intellectual, cultural, vocational, and spiritual growth. These programs transform the way students experience the world and equip them to live out their Christian faith in today’s global society. More than 13,000 students have benefitted from these academically rigorous, Christ-centered experiential education programs for the past 40 years.

Preparing to Study Abroad
Meet with Academic Advising
Before applying to a program that has an optional or required academic credit, you must meet with the Director of Academic Advising to see if your participation in the program can serve as a substitute for any classes at The King’s College. Your request to transfer these credits must be approved before your study abroad opportunity begins.
Confirm Financial Aid
While institutional aid does not apply to study abroad programs, you may be eligible to receive federal financial aid if the program has been approved for credit by the Office of the Registrar. If you are considering a study abroad trip, you should consult with The Office of Financial Aid early in the process. You’ll need to meet all of the regular deposit deadlines indicated in program materials even if you are funding the trip with federal aid or a private education loan.
Apply
After determining which Study Abroad opportunity you are interested in, it is a good idea to talk to a student who has participated in that opportunity in the past. When you’re ready to move forward, follow the application procedures outlined for each particular trip above. Please note that there is a $500 administrative fee applied to semester-long study abroad programs through the CCCU.
