International learning Experiences

IUSON is building partnerships across the world to address global health issues with an international perspective. These partnerships allow IUSON to share advanced knowledge in education, research and clinical practice with underdevelopedcountries, while gaining valuable insight into health care aspracticed in various cultures.

Study Abroad Experience

IUSON students have the option to work and study in a partner institution in a foreign country. The students gain a different perspective on health care, seeing what’s important to health in the absence of advanced technologies. Students give of themselves, working on interdisciplinary teams, delivering health care to populations with great needs. The students take away life-long lessons in caring for the disadvantaged and greater sensitivity to cultural differences.

International Student Scholarships

Studying abroad is not for every student, but what is important for every student is gaining an international perspective.  When students come to IUSON from other countries they bring with them culture experiences and different perspectives that enrich the classroom and the learning experience of all our students. When they graduate, international students return home with a quality education that will allow them to improve health care in their countries. Unfortunately, many international students are not eligible for traditional financial aid, yet their cost of education can be much higher. IUSON is committed to encouraging and supporting international students by providing scholarship support specific to their needs.

Faculty Teaching Abroad Experience

Many of our international partners rely on the support of IUSON faculty in areas of nursing where they have little experience or capacity.  IUSON faculty members will teach abroad for weeks at a time to help develop the curriculum or expertise of a partner institution. While there, faculty also learn from the culture and practices of our partners and bring an international perspective back to the classroom. Building partnerships in this way allows IUSON to be a leader and an expert on global health issues.
