There are only a few days left until the deadline to register for the 2017 Study Abroad Program with Northwestern Oklahoma State University to go to Australia and New Zealand. The final day to enroll for the public and Northwestern students is Tuesday, Jan. 31, at 5 p.m.
PICTURED RIGHT: Northwestern’s Study Abroad group visited Europe in May of 2016.
Dr. Kathryn Lane, department chair of English, Foreign Language and Humanities and assistant professor of English as well as a member of the Study Abroad Committee, invites students and members of the community to be a part of the summer 2017 Study Abroad Program that will take them “down under.”
The Study Abroad group, starting May 19 will spend 12 days abroad doing activities such as touring such places as the Sydney Opera House and snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, along with other memorable adventures. The return date is May 30.
A deposit of $200 is required to enroll for the trip. For those who have not enrolled yet, the cost of the trip is $5,030 for anyone under the age of 30 or $5,300 for those over 30.
There is a limited number of individuals who can study abroad, so Lane encourages those who are sure they want to go to enroll sooner rather than later in order to help with costs.
“Study abroad is a learning experience unlike any other,” Lane said. “The memories that you carry away you keep for a lifetime.”
The Study Abroad Committee is cautious when planning the dates of the trips to not interfere with Alva High School graduation and other summer classes at Northwestern.
Students interested in using the study abroad program for a three-credit course of Humanities (HUM 4480) will need to get approval from Lane to enroll.
“Three-quarters of students who study abroad have a better GPA,” Lane said. “Corporations across the world are looking for students who have studied abroad. It shows more experience and is an influential piece on your resume.”
