Study Abroad

Students enrolled in certification programs are encouraged to spend a semester abroad at one of a number of institutions, including the Brethren Colleges Abroad Program at Cheltenham or the University College of York St John, both of which are located in England. While studying at either of these two institutions, students can take education or general education courses that can be transferred and counted toward graduation.

Student Stories

Logan Barkman '09 - York, St. John University, UK

I attended York St. John University in York, England during the fall of 2007. While I was there, I took classes primarily in history. I found the experience of learning in another culture very beneficial, especially since I have a Social Studies Secondary Education POE. read more

Gina Piccolini '08 - Athens, Greece

Juniata College promotes studying abroad to all students. As a freshman, I thought I might like to study abroad, but I didn't think it was possible, while participating in both rigorous academic and athletic programs. Towards the end of my first year, I learned of BCA's program with City University in Athens, Greece. The semester started in March, enabling me to finish out basketball season, still study abroad, and not fall behind in my classes. I was hooked, and it was the best decision I've ever made in my life. read more

Michael Zauzig '08 University of Gloucestershire, UK

Throughout my first two years at Juniata, I knew about the Study Abroad Program, but gave it little thought. Why go abroad? I had been up to Maine, down to Florida, out to Washington, and even to Alaska. I had always considered myself well traveled. However, when I really thought about it, I realized this wasn't so true. I had grown up in Huntingdon, and was now going to Juniata College. Some students go hundreds of miles to college and I was staying in the same town. read more
