As you consider the many options available for your student’s education, it is important to you to feel fully informed and comfortable with a decision that has the potential to be one of the most beneficial you could ever make. St. John’s has a variety of programs to choose from, all of which are dedicated to providing excellent academics and cultural immersion in a safe environment.

We are here to help work with you and your student to help you decide which program is best. We are also here to answer any questions that you may have about studying abroad. Our staff —both in New York and abroad—is available to work with you at every stage of the process.

As your student goes through the application process and, ultimately, departs for his or her time abroad, they will enter the elite group of students that spend time abroad—currently, just under 10% of college graduates nationwide. By taking advantage of a Global Studies program, students acquire a true competitive advantage in today’s competitive, and increasingly international, marketplace. St. John’s is proud to offer a unique mix of classes and programs, all of which incorporate cultural integration, including hands-on service learning.

We look forward to welcoming you and your student to our Global Studies family and encourage you to contact us if you have any questions. In the meantime, please also feel free to read through our Parent Letter, which provides additional advice aimed specifically at parents preparing to send their students abroad.

We look forward to working with your family!

Sincerely,
Office of Global Studies
