Fall 2020 application deadline extended to April 1

Syracuse Abroad recognizes that this is a challenging time to make decisions about studying abroad next semester. We would like to reassure students that at this time, we are hopeful for our next semester abroad and plan to move forward with our fall programs as planned. Our highest priority is the health and safety of our students and we will continue to review public health and travel advisory guidance leading up to the Fall 2020 semester.

Should we ultimately decide it is necessary to transition or suspend a program for health and/or safety reasons, application and program fees will be reimbursed. We hope that students feel comfortable continuing their application should they wish to study abroad next semester. We encourage students to explore our study options this fall in hopes that they have the semester of a lifetime abroad.

There is still time to apply to Center programs:

Application deadline is April 1. Contact the International Program Advisor with questions or schedule a virtual advising appointment here.

At this time, applications will no longer be accepted for London Drama, London Architecture or Florence Architecture programs.
