Study Abroad

Interested in Studying Abroad?

American enrollment in college Study Abroad programs has tripled in the past two decades. Study abroad programs allow students to earn credits for courses taken in foreign countries. LMU offers a wide array of credit-bearing courses in over 20 countries. Students can choose from classes in business, the social sciences, foreign languages, the applied and fine arts, and STEM fields. Students can opt for long-term exchange programs (one semester - one academic year, through our overseas partner schools), or shorter-term trips (one-four weeks) during summer, winter and spring breaks. Scholarships are available, including the President's Study Abroad Scholarship and the Gilman International Scholarship. For more information, or to submit an application, contact International Programs at internationalprograms@lmunet.edu.

Please follow these steps:

  • Learn about current Study Abroad options at LMU by emailing internationalprograms@lmunet.edu.
  • Meet with your academic advisor to determine how studying abroad fits into your schedule and degree requirements.
  • Make an appointment with the Financial Aid office to see how your present financial aid package might apply to Study Abroad programs.
  • For credit-bearing Study Abroad programs, be sure to confirm with the Registrar's office whether/how the Study Abroad credits will transfer BEFORE embarking on your trip. Scholarship funds will not be disbursed until the credit transfer is finalized.
