International Studies Program for Study AbroadThe International Studies Program is built on the supposition that every full-time student should be presented with the opportunity to have an international education experience. This is in keeping with our mission statement of “preparing students to be servant leaders in a global society.” The program provides opportunities for faculty and students to teach and study abroad and at home. The program welcomes international students to become an integral part of the SBU family. The University encourages all students to share in promoting cultural, educational and social exchanges. SBU offers opportunities for you to experience one or more semesters of study overseas or at other locations within the United States. Overseas study is taken at universities in the host country, and all arrangements for tuition, fees and credit are managed through SBU. For most programs you must have completed two years of university-level study, have a grade point average of 2.75 and have completed English Composition II or Honors English. If the language of the host country is other than English, you must have sufficient command of the language to benefit from lectures or be enrolled in a language instruction program in the host country. Courses to be taken overseas must be approved by the major adviser and the director of external studies. All courses must be taken for letter grades and will be posted to the student’s transcript once you request a registrar transcript. Fees are paid through Southwest Baptist University, and students may receive financial aid. For more information on studying abroad contact: Judy Dutile |
