Study Abroad in Belize at Galen University

Create the International Educational Experience of a Lifetime

Are you curious about and want to experience how other cultures live and work? Would you like to make a difference in the community where you are studying? Then Belize and Galen University have a wealth of opportunities to make your "mark," and contribute to sustainable development. Studying internationally with us means students receive personal attention and see life from a whole new perspective. Classes are held in English on our welcoming, close knit campus, and in areas around the University and the country. There are needs in the larger community where our studies and activities can make a real difference, through Community Service Learning projects. Galen offers full semester programs, intensive, four week summer courses and full degree programs. Each program is designed to maximize a student’s academic needs inside and outside the classroom.  Create an educational experience of a lifetime!

Our international students adjust very easily to Central America; English is the main language and the pace of life, the technology, transportation, food and housing come easy when students know what to expect. Galen University has created a section just for that purpose; see below.....
