Education Abroad

Shenandoah University is a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP), a global network of 300 universities. This partnership allows students to study for a full semester or year at other member campuses abroad. By working closely with their Academic Advisors and the Education Abroad Advisor, students can take advantage of the opportunities to take general education and major classes taught in English abroad and to receive credit at their home institution.

Shenandoah University also maintains direct partnerships with several universities around the world. These relationships allow students from SU to study abroad as exchange students and students from these universities to study at SU.

In semester abroad programs, your classes for that semester are conducted abroad and you live in your destination city for the entire semester. A semester abroad is perfect for students who want to test the waters of studying abroad. If you aren’t ready for the full commitment of an entire year, but you still want a complete, enriched experience, then a semester program might be what you are looking for.

Year Abroad

Academic year programs allow students spend a full academic year immersed in another culture and language! All of your classes for that academic year are conducted abroad and you live and work as though you have truly relocated your education to that country. These programs are ideal for students who are confident in their ability to thrive while living abroad and want to commit to an eight to nine month program. If that length of time seems a bit daunting, a semester abroad program may be a better fit for you.

Educarion Abroad Tuition & Affordability

In order to give all students access to study abroad, SU has a home tuition model for all SU partner programs. Students studying abroad for SU credit are billed the SU comprehensive fee (tuition, room and board, technology fee, IM Learning fee, Student Services fee). SU ensures that tuition, room and board expenses are not charged to the student by the study abroad program.
