Studying Abroad
Like to visit Germany or Spain? Study Abroad!
Hanover offers you the opportunity to travel to seven different countries worldwide including Australia, Turkey and Spain. You can study at a foreign university which offers programs approved for credit that can be applied towards your Hanover course requirements. Because there are no additional costs for tuition, you can take advantage of these life-changing study abroad programs every year. You can select from any one of the semester-long college study abroad programs at universities in these countries:
Australia | Belgium | France | Germany | Mexico
Spain | Turkey
Each of the approved universities in these countries has an established relationship with Hanover College which enables the grades and course credits to transfer. However, with the right level of interest and dedication, you can work with the college's Study Abroad Department to investigate and arrange a self-designed program through a different university.
Along with the four-week Spring Term Travel Courses, Hanover's semester-long college study abroad programs offers you numerous opportunities to make the world your classroom. Of the 172 graduates in 2006, 27 participated in the semester-long study abroad program, and there were an additional 67 trips made through the single-course Spring Term programs. Combined with the excitement of travel to foreign lands, affordability and international-style learning are significant factors in these impressive statistics.
