Syracuse Abroad welcomes applications for a semester, year, or summer of post-secondary study from qualified students at accredited U.S. institutions. While students are invited to apply to their preferred program and term—fall, spring, summer, or mid-semester—final placements are determined based on a range of important considerations and cannot be guaranteed. Our goal is to match each student with a study abroad program that best supports their academic goals, personal interests, and the opportunities available. Admission decisions take into account program capacity, eligibility requirements, academic fit, input from schools and colleges, and the expectations of host institutions. To make the most of this experience, students are encouraged to be flexible about program choices and timing, and to actively explore a variety of options early and throughout the application process.
Students on any academic probation level are not eligible for acceptance to Syracuse Abroad programs, but an appeal may be considered in special circumstances.
Students who do not meet their program’s GPA requirements may complete the low GPA petition process if eligible.
Students must not be on disciplinary probation (or campus equivalent) during their time abroad and/or have any outstanding judicial sanctions. * Please note that College of Engineering and Computer Science students at Syracuse University must not be on judicial probation during the time in which they complete their application. If a student is on judicial probation during the time in which they complete their application, the student will not be admitted to the program.
Once admitted to Syracuse Abroad, you must remain a student in good standing (academic, financial, and judicial) to participate in our programs.
Syracuse Abroad Center programs
To ensure full consideration, all students are strongly encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Applications are reviewed for admission in the order that they are received; some programs have limited space and can reach capacity prior to the published deadline date. Some programs have deadlines that occur earlier than the standard deadline for the term. More information regarding our application dates and deadlines, how to apply, and application requirements can be found on the Apply section of our website.
Syracuse University students: Prior to applying for a Syracuse Abroad Center program, students are advised to pick and commit to one track (World Partner or Center). Movement from one program is not encouraged and may limit your program options.
World Partner Programs
World Partner programs are only open to Syracuse University students. Syracuse Abroad World Partner admissions decisions are made collaboratively between Syracuse Abroad and your academic school/college, considering a variety of factors such as program demand, eligibility, academic fit, and institutional priorities. Students who are approved to study abroad at a World Partner program will also need to complete the World Partner’s application process and be admitted by the program to participate. More information regarding our application dates and deadlines, how to apply, and application requirements can be found on the Apply section of our website.
Admissions decisions for World Partner (WP) programs will be communicated after the application deadline. WP admission decisions will be made based on a holistic review of the applicant including academic advisor approval/feedback (through feedback on WP Student Advising form), GPA, response to personal statement questions, and overall academic rationale for pursuing a WP program.
Prior to applying for a WP program, students are advised to pick and commit to one track (WP or Center). Movement from one program is not encouraged and limited to the options available.
