Since its inception in 1966, the International Music Program, or IMP, has given hundreds of NCSA students the opportunity to perform and study in and learn about various countries abroad during the multi-week tour. You can search for study programs offered through NC State by country, by language of instruction, or by field of study. Juniors and seniors are offered the opportunity to participate in international travel at minimal cost. Most trips are completed in January. Typical destinations are England, Mexico and Spain.
Additional destinations are available for a surcharge.
Every full-time student is guaranteed an opportunity for foreign travel and most of the expenses are included in the cost of regular tuition. A Salem College student may plan a course of study abroad for one or two terms of the junior year. The student who wishes to study in an organized summer program abroad is encouraged to do so. Whether for a month, a semester or an entire year, study abroad sustains personal and intellectual growth you can't get from a textbook. Immersion in a foreign culture teaches tolerance, broadens perspectives and builds confidence.
