Global Education

Brita Doyle, Assistant Dean for Global Education               bdoyle@allegheny.edu

It’s been proven that employers value the types of skills students gain while studying away like adaptability, flexibility, confidence, and empathy. The Global Education office provides opportunities for students to study and intern in the USA and around the world during the fall, spring, and summer terms. We offer academically enriching programs which challenge students of all majors to step outside of their comfort zone while immersing in another culture. Students earn transfer credit toward their Allegheny degree and are able to utilize their financial aid package when participating in a sponsored fall or spring program. Through pre-departure and reentry coursework, the global education office assists students with the process of navigating our complex and interconnected world.
