Objectives
The Seattle University Education Abroad Office seeks to facilitate intellectual and intercultural experiences that contribute to students’ lives of leadership and engagement in the Jesuit tradition.
While participation in an education abroad program is not an entitlement, several choices of major or scholarship programs require some kind of international experience.
For a list of eligible programs consult with the Education Abroad Office or visit www.seattleu.edu/abroad/. For current policy governing study abroad participation, visit Education Abroad Policy and Procedures. Applicants to education abroad programs require university approval as well as filed required paperwork with the Education Abroad Office. Eligibility generally includes good academic standing, a clear conduct record and permission of the major adviser. Several programs have additional eligibility requirements. The university will not approve study abroad to locations for which the United States Department of State has issued a travel advisory of levels three or four.
In addition to quarter-long education abroad opportunities, many Seattle University colleges and schools offer faculty directed international courses each summer. For the undergraduate, these courses add an international field-study component to courses taught during the spring quarter. For example, students in the Nicaragua international course attend UCOR lectures on-campus during the spring quarter and then conduct field work in Nicaragua in an intensive, compressed format.
