Program Overview
George Fox students may apply to study in Lithuania for one semester through a cooperative agreement with LCC International University in Klaipėda, Lithuania. Study Abroad Lithuania is designed for students in almost any major with course offerings in various disciplines.
LCC International University is a North American style liberal arts university with a Christian worldview that operates completely in English. Located in Klaipėda, Lithuania this program offers a unique and truly international learning environment with students and faculty from over 60 countries. Travel to 4 countries in one semester with program excursions in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and the country of Georgia. Whether for a semester or summer, students will create a second home in Lithuania.
Course Content
LCC offers majors in business, English, communications, International Relations Development, psychology, and theology, and minors in sociology and conflict studies. However, all majors can apply to study abroad in Lithuania. Due to the wide range of courses available – including general education and Bible coursework – our program works for most majors. You will have access to textbooks from the LCC library (you don’t have to buy them).
Students will also have the opportunity to engage in the local community through internships and volunteerism.
Excursions
You will have the opportunity to travel throughout Lithuania and to Riga, Latvia, and Tallinn, Estonia, for a weekend, as well as traveling to Georgia during the one-week semester break. There is also the option to travel throughout Europe as time allows.
Housing
Students are housed in apartments in the two LCC student residences, Neuman Hall and Enns Hall. These residence halls are located on the LCC campus and are a short bus ride to the beautiful historic downtown of Klaipėda. You will share a room with three international roommates, have your own bathroom and fridge, and a common kitchen on each floor. You will receive a monthly stipend for food and entertainment.
Program Fees & Eligibility
You pay your regular George Fox tuition and room and board and continue to receive all of your financial aid. Due to the high cost of some programs, an additional fee may be charged.
