Summer Study Abroad

Summer study abroad programs provide an opportunity to develop language skills in preparation for a semester abroad, or to have an abroad experience when an entire semester abroad is not possible due to competing academic, extracurricular, or personal interests.

While the Center for Global Education focuses on academic-year programs, we often advise students on summer options. Students should consult the online directory of summer programs below. Once students have developed a “short list” of potential summer programs, they should discuss the options off-campus study advising staff in the Center for Global Education.

Summer Study Abroad Registration is required for approval of credit by the Center for Global Education.

Summer courses abroad are “transfer courses” and students may apply a maximum of two summer course credits towards their ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ degree. This credit should be pre-approved through the Registrar’s Office. You may access the transfer credit application form and policy on the Registrar’s website.
