Summer or Winter Abroad

We realize that not every student will be able to spend an entire semester or year abroad. Therefore, we offer multiple short-term options, including faculty-led SJU Summer programs. The Center for International Programs (CIP) plans, coordinates, and implements all aspects of the Saint Joseph’s University summer study programs. The courses are taught by SJU faculty from a variety of academic disciplines and departments, and a coordinator (appointed by the University) is available during the length of the program.

If you are interested in a summer or winter study abroad program in another location, please carefully review the Non-SJU Summer/Winter Study Abroad Procedures, which vary greatly from the policies and procedures for SJU-sponsored summer and winter programs.

Finally, if you have any questions or concerns about studying abroad over winter or summer term, please make an appointment with a CIP staff member: studyabroad@sju.edu.
