The Office of Global Affairs (OGA) offers a variety of study abroad opportunities around the world for SHU and visiting students – with programming that supports a broad range of educational, professional, and personal objectives.

We are excited to work with you as you plan your journey abroad. Our advisors have traveled widely and can gladly share with you information and advice about traveling, academics, and adjusting to different ways of life.

- Students may spend a semester, a year, a month, or two weeks abroad earning academic credit and gaining the kind of knowledge that only a study abroad experience can provide;
- Courses completed on a SHU study abroad program may fulfill general education, elective, or major/minor credits, enabling students, regardless of academic plan, to study abroad and graduate according to their individual schedules
