Discover Your Place in the World
Ferrum College prepares students to be global citizens by offering a variety of programs both on and off campus. We welcome students from many countries around the world, and the world is open to Ferrum students. Every year, we have E-Term faculty-led programs abroad, focusing on a variety of academic disciplines. Students also have the opportunity to study abroad for a summer or a semester, or experience internships, field research, service, or teaching abroad through our many programs. On campus, we have a series of programs designed to broaden perspectives and help students connect to the rest of the world.
