Current Global Studies Programs

Unlike most colleges, St. Joseph's University has valued study abroad by funding student study abroad experiences in faculty-led and/or semester-long programs. This has made study abroad accessible to all students. St. Joseph's University scholarships apply to tuition abroad for semester length programs. Additionally, in the past, the University has made financial assistance for faculty-led programs available through a stipend or grant when available.

Explore the world for a week, a summer, a semester or an entire year. The opportunities are endless.
