Students can earn up to 16 credit hours for their study in Newcastle and can choose to live in university residence halls or private apartments. The program provides two weekend field trips to nearby areas of interest, such as the Blue Mountains, Nelson Bay, or the Hunter Valley Wine Country. The Newcastle area offers students many things to do and see, and Sydney, only 100 miles away, is easily reached by train or car. Internships A limited number of paid internships are available through the Study Abroad Center for students majoring in engineering, natural and physical sciences, business, agriculture, and forestry. With the exception of college work study, students may apply their financial aid to the cost of studying abroad.
Scholarships are also available for certain programs.
Further, transfer credit earned while abroad may still fulfill graduation requirements and, with careful planning, students should not have their graduation delayed. For information on these fees and program costs, please consult the Study Abroad Center or relevant department. Descriptions of the specific programs are found under the departments of Air Force Aerospace Studies, Military Science, and Naval Science. A student who completes a four-year program in any of these fields may be commissioned as a military officer at the time of graduation.
