Summer

How do you define your summer experience? How would you like to define it? Something new? Exciting? Meaningful?


Summer Session Deadlines:

Please see specific program for application and deposit deadlines.

 The Office of Global Studies at St. John’s University lets you re-define your summer. We offer you the opportunity to personally experience fresh, new cultures through our faculty-driven, student-focused programs.

Whether you’re attending a performance of Romeo and Juliet at the reconstructed Globe Theatre in London, digging through an archaeological site in Greece, or sampling fresh cheeses and prosciutto at one of the vast open-air markets in Rome, you’ll find countless opportunities to learn and grow when you study abroad with St. John’s. Our wide selection of programs and classes give you a new way to define your summer break.

We believe that every student needs a global perspective for success in their personal and professional lives. To this end, we offer a variety of study abroad options to suit your needs. Summer opportunities give you flexibility to take additional credits in a short time period while enjoying the advantages of studying abroad.

Our summer programs provide all the benefits of intensive experiential learning while accommodating students with more specific academic- or time-related considerations. As with all our programs, you’ll make extensive use of the local environment as part of your classroom experience.

St. John’s unique courses will immerse you in such disciplines as language and culture, communications, history and art. In addition, these programs allow you ample time to explore your surroundings on you own and become immersed in your new home cities.

Benefits include:

  • Full immersion in a foreign country
  • More affordability
  • Focus on short-term coursework
  • Popular destinations

Attention prospective Summer Session students: Join us for an informal information session regarding your summer program of choice. The information sessions will be scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays, during Common Hour, in February, March and April. Come to the Office of Global Studies to meet with professors, learn more about the countries and programs offered, and ask any questions you might have. For more information on the specific dates of these sessions, check the specific page of your choice.
