Study Abroad

The International Affairs Program encourages students to spend as much time abroad as possible during their undergraduate career. One of the best ways to get extensive international experience is by participating in a "traditional" study abroad program for a semester or a year.

Northeastern University offers semester study abroad programs in several countries including Argentina, Turkey, the Czech Republic, South Africa, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Cuba, and France, among many others.

Full-time Northeastern undergraduate students wishing to participate in a semester study abroad program must be in their third year or above. Transfer students must have completed two full semesters or one regular semester and two summer sessions at NU. Foreign language requirements apply to some programs, and students must meet the GPA requirement of the program to which they are applying. Because of the GPA requirements of some programs, International Affairs students are encouraged to maintain at 3.0 GPA until the beginning of their international semester.

Students interested in spending a semester abroad studying fulltime at a foreign university should visit the website of the Office of International Study Programs for more information about what programs are available and how to apply.
