Together, We Can Create Global Citizens
At Duquesne University, we believe the world is our global classroom, and study abroad transforms lives. Your gift to Study Abroad ensures that every student, regardless of financial background, has the chance to experience the life-changing power of global education whether at our Duquesne in Rome campus, our Duquesne in Dublin Global Study Center, or dozens of other semester-long or short-term programs in Europe, Africa, Latin America, or Asia.
Why Give to Study Abroad?
- Empower Students to Have Bigger Goals: Studying abroad inspires academic growth, cultural understanding, and a global perspective, helping our students become ethical leaders who can navigate a diverse world.
- Expand Horizons: Many students describe their time abroad as the most formative experience of their college career, shaping their values, skills, and confidence.
- Remove Barriers: Financial challenges prevent many students from pursuing study abroad. Your support provides scholarships and resources, turning dreams into reality.
Hear the Impact
“I feel that I gained a unique source of empathy from living where I didn’t speak the native language fluently, which I will take into my career. I could not recommend studying abroad enough. I feel incredibly grateful for the chance to travel the world at 19 and everything I gained from doing so."
— Giovana Z., Duquesne in Rome, Spring 2024
The Impact of Your Gift
Study Abroad is an essential element of higher education in the 21st century and Duquesne University is committed to providing all undergraduate students an international experience during their years at Duquesne.
The added costs of travel can be a challenge for students to study abroad and your gift can help them gain access to the life-changing experience of studying abroad.
