Palm Beach Atlantic University

Study Abroad: Center for Experiential Learning (CEL)

You understand that learning isn’t confined to a classroom — or even to a continent. You’re curious about other people, other cultures and other countries. That makes you a perfect candidate for a Palm Beach Atlantic University Center for Experiential Learning (CEL) study abroad program.

CEL provides an engaged, academic travel study experience for students. Educational benefits of the program include understanding the history and culture of the country visited. You will learn to appreciate the cultural expressions of the country, including artwork, literature, languages, religion and architecture, as well as living as a Christian student abroad. 

Semester in London

If you are a Palm Beach Atlantic University student who has earned a minimum of 70 credit hours with a desire to live and learn "across the pond," a semester abroad in London is perfect for you.

London is one of the most successful cities in the world with strengths in arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, tourism and transport, not to mention, a history spanning almost 2,000 years including surviving the Romans, the Saxons, the Great Fire and two world wars.

Your Experience

You will live at a host university, Roehampton University, London's only campus university. Some coursework will be taught by a PBA faculty member, and you also will have the opportunity to take courses offered by Roehampton University. The university has a broad range of expertise across the areas of education, arts and humanities, human and life sciences and social sciences.

In addition to living over four months in London, your semester will include excursions to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon and Stonehenge. Also, the location of Roehampton University's campus provides access to world-class museums, libraries and galleries.
