Parent Orientations and Info Sessions

For All Summer 2012 and Fall 2012 Programs

Have you heard about study abroad programs at St. John's, and want an opportunity to learn more? If so, we welcome you to join us for upcoming sessions on our Queens and Staten Island campuses. During these informal presentations, we'll address the questions that families often have as they consider sending their students abroad, including:

  1. Costs. Did you know that our students "travel" with all their financial aid when they study abroad through us? In addition, we award over $300,000 in grants to help make our programs more affordable.
  2. Coursework. Our programs are custom-made for St. John's students, and offer classes that fit nearly all students' schedules - particularly if they plan ahead.
  3. Why go? Study abroad can be a formative academic and personal experience, but equally important, it provides a competitive advantage. Nationally, less than 2% of undergraduate students study abroad!
