The Department has substantially expanded its international educational opportunities, and we continue to seek new arrangements and affiliations that will support our commitment to including an international focus in our curriculum. Listed below are current possibilities.
Other international opportunities often become available in the course of a student's enrollment at Minnesota State Mankato. For example, in the summer of 2002 the Department co-sponsored, with the Political Science Department, a study tour to South Africa, focusing on social development and the process of democratization. As international opportunities become available for travel and/or study, the department will notify students through the Social Work Department Listserv.
For more information about other study abroad activities and for assistance in completing the application process visit the staff at Minnesota State Mankato International Program Office/Study Abroad.
