International Education

It’s a Big World; Let Us Introduce You...

St. John’s offers a wide variety of programs to suit any student’s needs, from multi-city, multi-country Discover the World program to winter intersession in fantastic locations like the Galapagos Islands. What’s more, the Office of Global Studies can help you decide which program matches your needs and interests.

If you would like to see the world and experience different cultures in one semester, try our Discover the World program. If you live on campus and want to really get to know another culture, try a semester in Rome through St. John’s campus in Italy.  On the other hand, if you work during the school year and have limited time to study abroad, try a Winter Intersession or summer program.  Whatever your academic focus or time constraints, St. John’s believes that everyone should have an international experience to enrich your mind and broaden your horizons.

Semester Programs
Whether you travel to three countries in our Discover the World: Europe program or an immersion through our Discover Italy: Rome Semester, Discover France: Paris Semester, or our new Discover Spain: Seville Semester programs, we have something for every interest and course of study.

Summer Programs
Summer session programs are geared towards students who want to gain inter-cultural skills and international immersion in a particular discipline between semesters. Program locations have included Argentina, Bermuda, China, France, Spain and many more!

Winter Intersession Programs

Winter intersession programs are created by faculty-designed coursework to enhance students’ experiences in a particular discipline. Previous locations have been the Galapagos Islands, Italy and Dubai.

Exchange and Direct Enrollment Programs
For the more independent student, we offer a variety of exchange programs with partner universities around the world.

International Programs on Campus

Our international programs provide our exceptionally diverse student population with opportunities to explore international affairs of an historic, judicial, economic, political and social nature while on our home campus.
