If there is another country or foreign institution you would like to study at then we will help you make it possible. Please contact studyabroad@stritch.edu to arrange an appointment or simply stop into our office located in Duns Scotus 114.
Getting started: You will want to complete the Semester Study Abroad Application form, as well as the International Medical Self-Disclosure form and you should ask two Stritch faculty or staff members you may have worked with or had class with who know you well to reference you by asking each to complete the Semester Study Abroad Reference form. Your references may provide their completed reference forms directly to our office.
All forms should be returned to the International Education Office. You may also find these initial semester abroad forms on the table outside Dun Scotus 114. Please note that the semester study abroad application requires a three-page essay answering the questions on the back of the application form. Your essay should be put together as if it was a paper you were handing in and it should clearly answer the questions on the application form. It should be submitted to studyabroad@stritch.edu.
Academic Intensive Programs

Academic intensive courses pair a three-credit course from various disciplines with international travel and immersion.
