Core Beliefs: A Vincentian Heart, a Global
Mind
Studying abroad is a
life-changing experience, opening your mind to new ways of thinking
about your education, your world, and yourself. At St. John’s we
offer a wide range of unique classes and programs, hands-on service
learning, and cultural immersion.
The success of our
approach to global studies is based upon our core beliefs:
-
We believe academics are the core of a study abroad program. With
that in mind, we offer intellectually engaging classes that are
taught by experienced St. John’s faculty and leading faculty
abroad.
-
We believe meaningful community service is integral to a fulfilling
and satisfying international experience. That's why we incorporate
true service and reflection – typically with an eye toward global
poverty relief – into each of our programs.
-
We believe global studies should be within every student’s
financial reach. We offer generous financial aid with the goal of
accommodating every student regardless of program cost and
length.
-
We believe your study abroad experience must safely expand your
horizons. That is why we place full-time student life and
academic support staff in each of our locations and also provide
the services of worldwide emergency assistance – all covered in
your program fee.
