GO Short

Explore GLobal Opportunities

Study abroad for several weeks

Journey to an unfamiliar place — either in the United States or abroad — without interrupting your studies on campus. Our GO Short study abroad options are two to six week long faculty-led programs and scheduled over summer or winter breaks.

Led by Susquehanna faculty and staff, these are intensive, active-learning programs designed to make the most of your time there. These programs are grounded primarily in experiential learning, which allows the small group of Susquehanna students to immerse themselves in the host culture.

GO Short program types vary — students may be studying at a host institution, completing a service-learning based program, or connecting with locals through investigative projects, lectures, cooking classes, observational learning methods and more. Throughout the program and when you return, you’ll reflect on your life-changing study abroad experience with others from your program.

“Something I have experienced at Susquehanna that I wouldn’t find anywhere else is our Global Opportunities (GO) program. I studied abroad in Maastricht, Netherlands, where I learned so much about their culture and myself. It was the best time of my life. The GO program is my favorite part of being at Susquehanna.”

“One of the experiences I think is special at Susquehanna is our study abroad trip through the Global Opportunities (GO) program. I spent an entire semester in London, where I had my international internship and traveled to 11 different countries. I got really close with some of my friends and learned amazing real-world experiences with my internship and with learning how to travel.”
