Global Opportunities

All nursing students are encouraged to participate in a study abroad opportunity. Some international experiences require nursing classes prior to the trip, while others do not have that requirement. Most College of Nursing’s international experiences spans 7 to 10 days. There may be longer international experiences that occur over the summer break.

Currently, we offer programs in the following countries:  Panama, Kenya, Peru, and Belize.

The expenses for an international experience are typically around $4,000. Partial scholarships for these opportunities are available through the College of Nursing, Center for Global Engagement, and the Honors College.

For information regarding global opportunities in nursing please reach out to the Center for Nursing Practice at cnp@utk.edu.
