Study Abroad 101
Learn all about GMU’s study abroad programs from Center for Global Education Program Officers. This session includes information on study tours, intensive language programs, semester/year long programs, direct exchange programs and academic internships. There will be time for questions and private meetings after the session.

Exchanges/Semester & Year Long
Learn about exchange student programs at GMU. Students may study for either one semester or an entire academic year at one of our partner universities and earn 12 to 16 transfer credits per semester. Participants pay GMU tuition and an administrative fee to GMU. Room & board are paid to the host university. There is a wide range of classes to choose from in numerous fields, either in English or the language of the country, depending on the site. Please note that only a limited number of students can participate each semester. GMU can only send as many students as the foreign university sends to us, so as to maintain an exchange balance. You must be at least a second-semester sophomore at the time of departure and have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 to qualify for most of the programs. Deadlines are October 1 for spring semester and March 1 for fall semester. Open to GMU students only.

International Internships
Learn about our international internships in London, England; Beijing, China; and Marseille, France. Students earn academic credits through real-world, hands-on experience that is complemented by a class focusing on the history and culture of the region.

Unpaid placements are available at locations including PR firms, art galleries, environmental firms, lobby groups, non-profit and voluntary organizations. Eligibility requirements: 2.5 cumulative GPA, 45 credits completed. Open to GMU and Non-GMU students.
