Study Abroad
At Hastings, you can study abroad for a 10-days, 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.
