Study Abroad

Given the academic and personal value to be derived from a Study Abroad experience, Assumption College encourages qualified students to investigate the possibility of spending a semester or a year abroad as an integral part of their undergraduate education. In the past five years, students from Assumption College have studied in Australia, Austria, Chile, Costa Rica, Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, and "Semester at Sea." Eligible students may also consider an internship in a Study Abroad Program. Recently, students have held internships in London, England, and Sydney, Australia. A student does not have to be proficient in the language of the country in which he or she wishes to study. Some programs permit a student to begin language study; other programs offer language immersion for those students who are familiar with the language.

A student needs to meet with the Dean of Studies, who grants approval for the Study Abroad Program. A student must have a 3.0 cumulative GPA at the time of application. Students work with the Dean's office to select a program, submit an application, and secure course approvals. Students should also consult with their academic advisor regarding appropriate choices for study abroad courses.
