Welcome
The Study Abroad Office is part of the Global Education Office at Marywood. Study abroad experiences can be tailored to individual
comfort levels so students get exactly what they want from the
experience. The amount of time spent overseas could range from a few
weeks in the summer to an entire academic year. Students can choose to
live with host families, among foreign students, or surrounded by other
Americans. A number of programs are offered and scholarships and financial aid are also available. 
You can study abroad in countries around the
world—for a semester, during
the summer, or during a spring break program. These vary in structure from
exchanges and individually arranged programs to faculty-led programs.
Marywood students who have studied abroad come back marveling at their
experiences. They report that besides seeing wonderful new places,
meeting many interesting people, and experiencing very different cultures, they
have grown in their interpersonal skills, including communication, problem
solving and independent critical thinking.
The Global Education Office oversees the administration of
any request from a student who wants to study abroad. Students are required to
apply to the study abroad program through the Global Education Office to
ensure the proper procedures and guidelines are followed. These guidelines are
in place in order to provide an appropriate study abroad experience for
students while acting as a risk management barrier concerning safety and liability
issues that will affect students and their experiences abroad..
