Every year, students have the opportunity to participate in a number of global seminars around the world. Ranging from different fields of study, students have the advantage to explore the many subjects offered on the Hilltop.
“Studying abroad is an exceptional way for students to strengthen their academic pursuits and embrace individual growth. At Saint Anselm, we offer unique short-term global opportunities, called Global Seminars, that blend academics with cultural immersion and adventure. These programs are designed to complement a specific academic course where students can apply their knowledge in the real world,” said Emily Hotchkiss, Director, Office of International Programs.
Biology Trip to Belize:
The Saint Anselm biology department is taking a twelve-day trip to Belize in June. After taking Tropical Biology and Field Studies in Tropical Biology, the group of students will travel to the northeastern coast of Central America to experience the significant sights Belize has to offer. They will spend five days conducting research in the rainforest and five days exploring the barrier reef.
Trip to Rome:
Students from Saint Anselm took a trip to Rome in March of 2026 with faculty leaders Dr. Katherine Bentz and Dr. Christine Gustafson. The group dove into the rich history, architecture, and art on an eight-day journey. The trip blended a cultural discovery with academic engagement. The students and faculty leaders visited famous archeological sites, historic neighborhoods, museums, and churches of Rome.
Trip to Granada:
Students from the Saint Anselm modern language and literatures department will take a trip to Granada, Spain this summer. The students will complete a five-week internship trip and will take an Advanced Spanish Immersion course. The students will intern with both local hospitals and schools to cultivate their nursing and teaching skills. This trip provides valuable insights and practical skills that will help them in their future careers.
Nursing in Costa Rica:
Saint Anselm nursing students took a trip to Costa Rica in January of 2026 to provide care and compassion to communities facing barriers. The students utilized the skills they have acquired while earning their degrees on the Hilltop. The Costa Rica clinical is a vital opportunity for undergraduate students to get the experience and capabilities they will need to succeed.
“The students, as always, provided exceptional care and we are very proud of them,” said Professor Melissa Brodeur, MSN, RN.
“Students will return with improved cross-cultural, intellectual, and personal skills. Global Seminars also include incredible cultural activities allowing students to explore and experience their host country. From cooking classes to vibrant city tours, our students are able to have unparalleled global experiences!” Hotchkiss continued.
