This year study abroad options are to travel to Greece, London and Paris or Costa Rica. In the past, they've gone to the Dominican Republic and they've also gone to Italy.

To be eligible for study abroad, you have to be at least 18 years old before the time of travel. You have to have a 2.5 cumulative GPA. You have to be enrolled for one full term, which is eight weeks before travel. And you also have to be a full time undergraduate student at the Williamsburg campus.

Work study is an opportunity for Cumberland students to work for the university, and we offer both presidential work study and federal work study. Presidential work study is offered by the university and federal work study is offered by the government.

To ensure students safety on campus. Our university has partnered with the local police department, and they've also increased security while offering 24 hour surveillance and on call services. We've also been named the safest university in America.
