Insurance- We've Got You Covered

Don't worry! Since you are lucky enough to be participating on a St. John's University Global Studies program, we really do you have you covered.

All participants on Global Studies programs have health insurance for the duration of their time abroad.  For information on this health plan please visit the Accepted Students page for your particular program.

What does this coverage include? 

  • 24/7 assistance. If you are feeling sick, are lost, no matter your situation, whatever your location may be, there is an English speaking representative waiting to help you.
  • Take advantage of this coverage. Do not wait until you are bed ridden and in severe pain to call a doctor. React the same way you would in the United States! The whole purpose of this coverage is to ensure things go smoothly for the duration of your time abroad, whether you think you have allergies or swine flu.

What about the St. John's staff abroad? 
In areas where St. John's University has an established campus, (Paris and Rome) please do not hesitate to ask our staff abroad for help. They are there for you!

What about visiting the pharmacy? 
International pharmacies act differently than the US pharmacies we are used to. For example, in most European pharmacies the pharmacist can actually prescribe medication we would need prescriptions for in the United States. They are excellent resources for the common cold, sore throat, and sniffles.
