Travel Opportunities
As well as the required study abroad semester for foreign language majors, students have the opportunity to travel on college-sponsored trips to a variety of U.S. sites or international countries each year through Doane's Interterm (in January or May). Recent international trips have been taken to France, Germany, England, Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel, Australia and Sweden.
Travel Scholarship
All Doane juniors and seniors are provided up to $1000 to help pay for college-sponsored trips, via Doane's unique Travel Scholarship. Many students use this scholarship to travel abroad for the first time.
Goethe-Institut
Doane College has a consortium agreement with the Goethe-Institut. Doane students at the Goethe-Institut in Germany will sit for internationally recognized proficiency exams at the conclusion of their stay abroad, which enhances and supports their career plan (cf. Melissa Hegeholz on the German major site). Goethe-Instititut website
