Study Abroad
Study abroad represents an invaluable kind of experiential learning and cultural enrichment. Students who study abroad enhance their preparation as citizens and working professionals in an increasingly multicultural world.
The opportunity to study abroad is a special privilege open to students who have demonstrated the academic preparedness and personal maturity to handle the challenges of living and learning in another country and culture.
Therefore, students seeking institutional permission to study abroad must meet the following minimum standards:
- Sophomore (24 or more credits) or higher standing at the time of the experience;
- A cumulative grade-point-average of 3.0 or higher;
- At least one letter of support from their advisor or other faculty member; and
- Good standing within the College’s Student Conduct Code.
Permission must be sought at least one full semester prior to the time of the proposed study abroad experience. In addition, students must meet all the eligibility standards for the study abroad program to which they intend to apply.
Students interested in international study should begin by contacting their faculty advisor and the Office of Academic Affairs. They will (a) help you research and select a quality program suited to your academic needs and interests; (b) guide you throughout the application process (e.g., course selection, financial aid, and orientation); and (c) help you secure institutional approval to study abroad. Students wishing to study abroad must obtain final institutional approval from the Provost or designee.
Please note: Students enrolled in programs of study approved for credit by Keuka College are considered enrolled at Keuka College for Title IV financial aid purposes.
