Experience a Truly Global Education as
You Live and Learn in Three Different Countries!
Accepted Students
By taking you to three countries in a single semester, Discover
the World offers a multi-faceted perspective on European culture
and politics. Through our academic offerings and service
activities, you'll encounter extraordinary opportunities to engage
with the people and cultures of modern Europe. Above all, you'll
build a stronger academic portfolio by living and learning in three
European cities in one semester. Our vibrant academics and onsite
learning are the hallmarks of Discover the World: Europe. Classes
transform these host cities’ cultural and historic resources by
making them key components of your learning experience.
Students will visit the following cities during the semester
(although not in this particular order):
- Rome, Italy
- Paris, France
- Seville, Spain
Discover the World: Europe features an innovative, modular class
format that splits your 15-week semester into three, five-week
sessions. This way, you’ll have one or two courses in each city,
allowing you to fully concentrate on and absorb your course work.
We also offer several Online Learning options to choose from; for

For students enrolled as Pharmacy or Psychology majors, we offer
courses structured specially to the academic requirements for those
majors. For more information on these courses, visit our Course

Some of the most exciting learning experiences take place
outside the classroom. Perfect your French as you watch films in
the movie houses lining the Champs-Élysées or develop a Roman
accent as you order Italian-style ice cream at a local gelateria.
We typically schedule classes four days a week so you have three
days a week to study, travel and “discover” on your own. Apply

**Great News! In
an effort to make study abroad accessible to as many students as
possible, St. John’s is now offering additional financial aid
toward semester programs abroad. To find out how much your
personalized Study Abroad Grant would be, and get a better
understanding of the financial comparison between studying abroad
and studying on a New York campus, see the Global Studies Financial
Aid letter that was sent to the homes of all freshmen, sophomores
and juniors.
