Who Can Study Abroad?

All college students are encouraged to study abroad! No matter what your academic major is, or your career goals, study abroad is relevant to all students.

The minimum eligibility requirements are:
  • be in good standing (academic, disciplinary, financial)
  • earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 before participating in study abroad
  • successfully complete at least two semesters of college-level coursework (or a minimum of 18 semester credit hours) before participating in a study abroad program
  • obtain transfer credit and/or course pre-approval authorization
Study Abroad is not just for the rich or privileged, it is not just for those fluent in a foreign language, it is not simply a vacation. Study Abroad is for everyone who wants to grow personally, understand academic topics from an international perspective, and wants to prepare for a meaningful career.
