Study Abroad
At Hastings, you can study abroad for a semester, the summer or an entire academic year in places like Australia, Denmark, France, England, Peru, Russia, Thailand and more!
While Hastings has many academic opportunities that appeal to a number of interests and professional goals, there’s no substitute for the experiences you get studying or serving others while immersed in a different culture.
Types of Study Abroad Opportunities
Irish Fellows Program
The Hastings College Irish Fellowship program is a distinctive, competitive study abroad opportunity offered annually to full-time junior and senior Hastings College students. In partnership with Davy Spillane, a Grammy Award-winning Irish musician, Hastings College sponsors the program, which blends on-campus coursework with a month of independent study in County Clare, a region in the west of Ireland offering remarkable educational and cultural opportunities.
For more information on Irish Fellows, contact Dr. Rob Babcock at rbabcock@hastings.edu.
Direct Exchange Options
With a Direct Exchange, you may attend a partner institution for the same cost of tuition at Hastings College! The Hastings College Study Abroad Office will work with you to make sure your financial aid and other requirements are in order. Partner institutions include:
- University of Leicester — Leicester, United Kingdom

- University of Dundee — Scotland, United Kingdom

We encourage you to develop your own interests and pursue them — including through Direct Enrollment.

How to Make it Happen
Meet with your advisor and/or the Academic Dean (see below), to develop a plan. You’ll also want to meet with the Registrar’s Office to make sure you’ll get credit for the classes you take.
Since processing times can vary, we encourage you to begin the process of applying for a passport as soon as possible to avoid any delays.
For information on studying abroad, financial support and planning, contact Dr. Kittie Grace, Interim Dean for Academic Affairs, at kgrace@hastings.edu.
