As a student at Benedictine University, you have the opportunity to study abroad almost anywhere in the world. You will transfer credit from foreign institutions back to Benedictine University that will meet requirements for your major, minor or for general education curriculum requirements. You can become fluent in a foreign language or attend universities where all of the coursework is taught in English.
The experience of living, traveling, and studying in another country will benefit you enormously for the rest of your life. You will gain personal independence and self-reliance, intercultural competence, language skills, and memories for a lifetime. This experience will serve you for the rest of your academic career, and as you advance in your career or graduate study.
You can study abroad on programs as short as 10 days with options to spend a summer, semester or entire year abroad. You can work around your athletic season or other calendar concerns.
Study abroad is affordable for all students, and a great investment in yourself. You can use your existing financial aid (Benedictine University scholarships, state and federal scholarships and loans) on many of our programs. We will also help you identify additional scholarships that you can apply for, specifically for studying abroad. These may be based on your field of study, your ethnic heritage, the country you plan to study in, or the language you will study.
Our staff can help you find the perfect program based on your academic interests, your schedule, your comfort level and your financial situation.
