Study Abroad

Enhance your college experience with a global perspective through study abroad. You can study with and learn from knowledgeable professors at Oxford University, learn how to incorporate Christian values in the film industry in Los Angeles, or immerse yourself in history in the Middle East. At Corban, you aren’t limited to Salem. You have many opportunities to see the world!

Study Tours

Financial Aid

Corban University institutional financial aid does not apply to study abroad programs. Most federal and state grants and loans are applicable to study abroad options. Current and prospective students may consult with the Office of Financial Aid on the financial aid resources available to help cover the cost of these programs.
