Short-term Summer and Winter Study

For those who need to remain on campus during the semester, such as student athletes or those with rigid course schedules, short-term summer and winter programs are an excellent option. You do not need to select a program from the college-approved programs list.

Study Abroad Stories From Students

Psychology and History major

My Jewell experience was incredibly valuable in so many ways, but most of all, I was afforded the opportunity to learn and thrive in an environment that nurtured my passions and goals. I was provided an abundance of skills and knowledge that have enabled me to confidently take the first steps in my career as a registered behavioral technician.

Hrithika from Birmingham, United Kingdom

My time at William Jewell College has shaped not only what I want to study, but also how I approach learning and leadership. Through my experiences in research, service and coursework, I’ve learned how to connect what I study to real-world impact. That perspective has prepared me for the next step in my journey toward becoming a physician-scientist.
