Grace’s Gateway to the World

Grace offers many opportunities for cross-cultural learning spanning from short-term trips to study abroad options, modern language degrees, to cultural experiences on campus. The Institute for Global Studies is your one-stop shop when it comes to engaging the world.

Grace College offers many different global studies opportunities through our Institute for Global Studies, like Go Encounter Trips.
Go Encounter Trips

Many students choose our short trips during breaks, called Go Encounter trips, to fulfill their cross-cultural field experience requirement. These trips, led by Grace faculty and staff, immerse students in cultural learning within the US or in international settings.
