Semester Programs

Marymount University’s Center for Global Education assists students from a variety of majors to pursue study around the globe to enrich their academic experience.

One program is sponsored by Marymount; others are hosted by other institutions, but facilitated by Marymount’s Center for Global Education.

Marymount’s Rome Program is sponsored by the university and is offered in partnership with the American University of Rome. Students can enroll for the fall, spring, or summer semester. Qualified second-semester sophomores, juniors, and first-semester seniors are eligible. The fall and spring semester programs require full-time enrollment for 12-15 credits; students enroll for 6 credits in the summer. Students in both the semester and summer programs receive direct Marymount credit.

Semester programs hosted by other institutions are available to Marymount students who wish to study in locations including Africa, Australia, Austria, Central and South America, China, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Middle East, Spain, and more. Some of these programs are available for summer study as well. Students in these programs receive Marymount transfer credit.

Those students that are in the education licensure program have the opportunity to complete 7 weeks of the student teaching experience abroad in such places as New Zealand and Italy. As part of the education department’s study abroad program, students have been to Uganda, Panama, and Costa Rica. The Center for Global Education can assist students who seek alternative study abroad options to meet specific academic or professional goals as well. Such programs are typically sponsored by other universities or agencies.

All students who participate in study abroad programs must receive prior approval from their advisor, the dean of the school offering their major, and the Center for Global Education. To receive credit for any study abroad program, students must complete a course approval form before departure. These forms are available in the Center for Global Education. (This form does not need to be completed for students in the Rome Program or short-term Marymount-sponsored programs, as students in these programs receive direct Marymount credit.)

Full details about cost, the program’s calendar, academic criteria, and admission requirements, including deadlines for applications, can be found online. All costs are subject to change, based on fluctuating international currency exchange rates.

More information about all of these opportunities can be found through the Center for Global Education and on the study abroad pages of the Marymount University website. Visit www.marymount.edu and search for "study abroad."
