Global Education

At Quinnipiac University, we feel a sense of obligation to work toward a more interconnected world. We do this by increasing intentional global engagement opportunities for students, faculty and staff to learn both inside and outside the classroom. We envision a diverse university community that develops responsible and engaged citizens by cultivating the cultural awareness, sensitivity, skills and knowledge necessary to participate respectfully in the global community.

Imagine where your journey might take you

Part of our mission is to develop responsible, empathetic citizens who are invested in global issues and cultures as well as opportunities in the international community. To that end, we provide meaningful learning experiences for students, faculty, staff and alumni.

We celebrate the fact that the world is comprised of people with many different identities, cultures, belief systems and levels of ability. Across the globe, Quinnipiac is working closely with partnering institutions to encourage all students to participate in education abroad and education away.

From spending a semester abroad to short-term, faculty-led programs and international internships, global learning opportunities develop cultural humility and foster the exchange of knowledge and ideas. These engagements also enable students to integrate knowledge and theory with practical application on the world stage. The Office of Global Engagement offers guidance and support for students before, during and after their education experiences.

“Studying abroad in Cork, Ireland, was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I will forever cherish the memories I made, the culture I embraced, the strangers who became friends, and the place that became my home.”

“When I went to Barbados as part of a health science course, I quickly realized that I needed to consider different perspectives from the community members, and that there should be a continual conversation that is equal and reciprocal. Once this relationship is established and trust is built, that reciprocity is natural and fluid.“

Risk Management

The Office of Global Engagement carefully monitors the State Department travel warnings and recommendations made by the Centers for Disease Control. We communicate regularly with our overseas partners about safety and security concerns. All students traveling abroad through QU’s sponsored global education programs will be required to be insured in QU’s comprehensive overseas insurance coverage.
