Study Abroad
Explore the world while staying on track in your nursing program.
About
At the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing, we make it possible for you to study abroad AND stay on track to complete your bachelors degree!
The Elaine Marieb College of Nursing is one of few nursing programs in the country to offer built-in study abroad options for our nursing undergraduates that are not only financially accessible (about the same cost as an in-state semester on campus), but also keep our students on track to graduate without missing a beat in their coursework.
Undergraduate nursing students are able to study abroad:
- Fall semester of sophomore year (third-semester undergraduates)
- During winter sessions
We offer two faculty-led study abroad programs:
- Nursing & Health Sciences Fall Semester Study Abroad. Apply here and view our info session presentation.
- Madrid, Spain location.
- Nicosia, Cyprus location
- Cross-Cultural Health Care in Cyprus Winter Session. Apply here.
Both programs include academic visits, cultural activities, excursions, meals, and housing in their total cost. The price varies, but expect to pay about the same as you would for an in-state semester on campus.

In the spotlight
"Having the opportunity to go abroad with UMass Nursing is one I am forever grateful for! I was able to immerse myself and learn so much about a different culture while abroad. The experience has improved my Spanish and helped me connect with Spanish-speaking patients, as well as left me with many valuable skills as a future nurse!"
In the spotlight
"This semester-long experience provided me with a deeper understanding of global healthcare systems and strengthened my adaptability and cultural competence. I witnessed firsthand how healthcare is delivered in Spain, which broadened my perspective on patient care and reinforced the importance of considering cultural nuances in nursing practice."
