The Rinker Center for Experiential Learning offers students a variety of global opportunities through which students can complement their studies through international experiences. Participation in these opportunities is an educational privilege awarded to students in good standing in the areas of academics, discipline, Workship, and Chapel. RCEL facilitates a variety of rigorous international academic programs, as well as volunteer opportunities abroad for students and faculty to serve.

Class Abroad
In addition to semester-long programs, students can participate in faculty-led short-term programs known as Class Abroad. Each Class Abroad program is planned by PBA faculty members who organize an academic course with an international travel component. In the past, such trips have included destinations like Israel, Paris, Vietnam, Germany, and the Galapagos. Students receive academic credit for the course while gaining hands-on experience in their studies.
