Visiting our campus is one of the best ways to get a feel for Goshen — from classes and dorms to the dining hall menu — and decide if it’s a good fit for you. We are a friendly community where people are happy to answer your questions and show you around.
Maybe you’ve been everywhere from Trinidad to Budapest, or maybe you’ve never left your home state. No matter your previous traveling experience, if you’re curious about other cultures, you’ll find a home in our international studies program.
As an international studies minor, you will have the option to study in a variety of locations around the globe. Goshen College offers a unique three-month immersion program called Study-Service Term (SST), which will take you to far-away places to study a foreign language, live with a host family and complete a service assignment, like teaching English or working in a medical clinic.
During May term or summer, you will also have unique options for studying abroad in such 3-week classes as Arts in London, Business in Spain or China, Economics in Ecuador, Communications in Kenya, Nursing in Nepal, and more.
Even on-campus classes can lead you to new and unfamiliar territory. You’ll explore other belief systems and cultural differences with courses on Latinos in the Midwest, African history, Asian thought, and race, class and ethnic relations.
Your experiences at GC will not only improve your resume (our grads have been hired and accepted into graduate school specifically because of their unique Study-Service Term experience), they will also enrich your life and teach you what it really means to be a global citizen.
For two weeks in June, a group of 20 high school students from Mennonite, Catholic, Baptist and nondenominational backgrounds and from across the country traveled to Guatemala for Goshen College’s first Study-Service Theology Term (SSTT) and reflected on what their future in the church might look like, while studying Jesus’ life and vocation.
Goshen College is on U.S. News & World Report's list of 10 Colleges Where Studying Abroad Is Common.
Goshen College and Pinchpenny Press are publishing an intercultural guidebook titled “The Goshen College Guide to Studying and Serving Abroad: Essays on Intercultural Learning,” drawing on the experiences of faculty, staff and students who have participated in SST.
