½ðɳÓéÀÖ University no longer requires participants in study abroad programs to be vaccinated for Covid-19. Nevertheless, participants in short term study abroad programs should follow CDC rules and recommendations for international travel. Furthermore, Covid-19 and other vaccines may be required for anyone participating in clinical rotations or internships within healthcare settings, K-12 schools, or other community businesses or organizations. Please refer to your specific program or site requirements for more information.
Short-term study-abroad programs give students a taste of the experience without requiring a long time commitment. Short Term Study Abroad courses start with an academic semester course. Students choose a destination, take a preparatory course, and travel with ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University faculty to complete their course on location. Courses include domestic and overseas opportunities that change every term. Travel courses are often open to non-students, faculty, staff, and others. E-mail Mike Miller (mjmiller@pacificu.edu) or if you are interested.
These are the ½ðɳÓéÀÖ University courses that you have to register for. Furthermore, please note that most classes will require enrollment during fall or spring semester for a 2 credit preparatory class. This list is subject to change depending on student interest.
