Cumberlands Q & A

This year study abroad options are to travel to Greece, London and Paris or Costa Rica. In the past, they've gone to the Dominican Republic and they've also gone to Italy.

To be eligible for study abroad, you have to be at least 18 years old before the time of travel. You have to have a 2.5 cumulative GPA. You have to be enrolled for one full term, which is eight weeks before travel. And you also have to be a full time undergraduate student at the Williamsburg campus.

Work study is an opportunity for Cumberland students to work for the university, and we offer both presidential work study and federal work study. Presidential work study is offered by the university and federal work study is offered by the government.

While living on campus. There's many events that our students can attend for free. We have sporting events going on throughout the week and the weekend, along with events every single week hosted by our Campus Activities Board, Campus ministries and other departments on campus.

So, depending on the trip, it can cost anywhere from around $2,000 to upwards of $4,000. But you're in luck because every year, Study Abroad offers scholarships to students. And you'll usually find those scholarship opportunities via email, via the director of Study Abroad.

There are a plethora of opportunities from anywhere from Costa Rica to the Dominican Republic to Italy, Greece, London, Paris. Basically you take your pick and you get to go.

Absolutely, you can study abroad more than once. I myself am a three time repeat traveler. So as long as you can afford it, you can go.
