Syracuse University Abroad (SU Abroad) offers students the opportunity to study in a foreign country for a full year, a semester, or a summer session without interrupting a normal degree program. All programs offer fully accredited Syracuse University courses. Most programs are open to qualified students regardless of the major field of study, and past participants have come from all the colleges and schools within the University, as well as from other campuses.
Programs of study abroad are available during the academic year at centers operated by Syracuse University in China, England, France, Hong Kong, Italy, and Spain. Direct placements for study in foreign universities in Austria, Australia, Chile, China, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain and the West Indies are also available. Opportunities in Africa include Ghana, Namibia, and South Africa.
Summer sessions abroad vary from year to year at SU centers and other sites in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
The goal of these programs is to draw upon unique cultural and intellectual resources in host countries in order to extend subject-matter competency, develop language proficiency and a sensitivity to other cultures together with a new perspective on one’s own culture. The structured academic program and living accommodations contribute to achieving these goals.
Programs at SU centers are supervised by a resident chair or a Syracuse University faculty member in residence abroad. Students are taught by SU professors and professors from institutions in the host country. Language instruction is integral to the program. There is no language prerequisite at SU centers.
Students pay regular SU tuition and a program fee, which normally covers outbound travel from New York, orientation, housing and some meals for the semester, and other program services and activities not covered by tuition or separate fees. All scholarships valid for use at Syracuse may be used for study abroad. There are also additional study-abroad and work-study grants available through SU Abroad.
Programs of study abroad are available in cooperation with the School of Architecture, The College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Education, the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science, the College of Human Services and Health Professions, the School of Information Studies, the School of Management, the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and the College of Visual and Performing Arts. Further information about these opportunities can be found in the sections of this catalog describing individual colleges, schools, and programs.
