Taylor Study Abroad Programs

  • Ecuador Semester Program: Spend fall or spring semester immersed in Latin American culture at Universidad del Azuay in Cuenca, Ecuador. Take advanced classes in Biology, Business, Christian Education, and Exercise Science, as well as general education courses in history, literature, and science.
  • Thailand Studies Program: This semester-long study abroad program examines the intersection of orphans, vulnerable and exploited children, human trafficking, and human rights issues. Based in Chiang Mai, you’ll take courses and have experiences that will give you a firsthand look at issues related to the marginalization of children, human trafficking, and related problems.

Some departments also hold major-specific study abroad programs. See your major page or contact your department chair for more information and opportunities.
