Students may spend an Interim, summer, semester, or full academic year abroad.
Study abroad is recommended for upperclassmen, preferably juniors.
In order to qualify, students must be socially mature, have an overall grade point average of 3.0 or above, and have the equivalent of at least one year of a modern foreign language. In addition, they must be recommended by their major advisors and the Registrar. Cooperative agreements include, but are not limited to, the Center for Global Education at Augsburg College for study in Mexico and Central America, UN-L for study and internships in Germany, and Belgrano University in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for faculty and student exchanges. DIS is affiliated with the University of Copenhagen, and offers courses taught in English on such subjects as history, politics, environmental studies, literature, education, economics, fine arts and sociology. As a member of the NICL consortium, the Dana library cooperates and shares resources with other independent college libraries in Nebraska.
