Note: Each Bluffton University student must fulfill a cross-cultural requirement before graduation. Most students fulfill this requirement by going on a cross-cultural experience while others complete the requirement by taking foreign language classes.
While Bluffton offers many three week cross-cultural experiences each spring some students decide to further stretch themselves by spending a semester abroad. Senior Jill Schlabach (West Liberty, Ohio) and junior Hanna Mattingly (Hartville, Ohio) traveled to Uganda in the fall through an organization called Best Semester.
