To receive credit for independent travel, a student must make an appointment with John Magee to fill out the appropriate paperwork. The student will also need to meet with his or her faculty advisor and the faculty member directing the independent study.
The criteria for the student’s research project are determined before the travel takes place. It is generally recommended that students do some preliminary research. An example of such a project is a paper that reflects the findings of the student on such areas as comparative government, the humanities, monuments, living conditions, economy, historical or cultural sights, or environmental problems and solutions.
“It was an eye opener seeing a whole different world and how they function in health care. It was amazing to see how they have so little resources but yet are surviving, doing well and still happy. It helped me as a future nurse to practice cultural humility as I prepare to work with the diverse population of the United States.”
-Danielle Pernicano, Philippines
“Studying abroad with Madonna University has been the most enriching academic and worldly experience. Traveling to another country with my classmates while studying classes that are relevant to my major has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I am grateful is offered at Madonna University. I have gained a new sense of independence and a stronger value for diversity.”
-Kaleen Snowdon, London
“It has opened me up to new cultures and new stories. I love stories and legends, which I actually discovered last year when I went on the study abroad to Poland. This study abroad helped shape that and I have now gained a new insight into a whole different culture that will certainly stay with me for the rest of my life. It was also amazing to walk where my ancestors were and see where they lived, which has given me a whole new connection back to my roots and history. All of this has helped me contribute to my own story and actually has given me the inspiration to write again, which I had been failing to do before I left.”
-Amanda Bourque, Ireland
“I would most definitely recommend a study abroad experience to my peers. In fact, if possible, take every opportunity that's available. It's extremely rare to find travel opportunities where you are guaranteed to come home with eternal knowledge and memories, friendships, college credit, and experience of a completely different culture that you may never get the chance to experience again.”
-Sierra Paul, London
“Study abroad has made me appreciate the world we live in more. By seeing other people's cultures and sharing those experiences with them, I expand my horizons. Knowing there are worlds beyond your own and seeing them are two very different things.”
-Stephanie Mackley, Ireland
