Summer or Winter Abroad
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.
