Developing Non-Credit Experiences Abroad
Non-Credit Experiences Abroad include, but are not limited to, international research, international service trips, international conference participation, international students returning to their home country to study/research, visits to Drexel partner institutions, and any other student experience abroad that is not for academic credit.
Non-Credit Experiences Abroad (NCEA) involve considerable risk for student, faculty, and staff travelers, as they often occur in areas with heightened security concerns, and/or without the level of general supervision that is inherent in other forms of international travel at Drexel. In order to provide the highest level of traveler support, and ensure full insurance and emergency services coverage, there are specific requirements for the approval of NCEA programs. Questions about the process can be directed to Drexel Global at global@drexel.edu.
