Explore Global Education Opportunities through PLU
PLU values global education as a pathway to excellence. We support Lutes – students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the broader community – in their exploration of global systems, contemporary international problems, and the complexity of cultures forged over centuries through interactions across diverse societies. PLU offers an array of global opportunities on and off campus. These experiences expose Lutes to the world in all its complexity, and prepares us to engage as thoughtful, reflective, empathetic, productive global citizens.
These opportunities include: individual courses, major/minor programs, study abroad, community-engaged learning, internships, supported research, on-campus events and post-graduate opportunities. Come and explore the world with us.
