Study Abroad

WHY STUDY ABROAD ?

Participating in a study abroad program is a way to travel, expand your world view, and experience a new and interesting way of life while you continue to pursue your degree at NJCU. Students study at one of over 30 countries in universities affiliated with the New Jersey State Consortium for International Studies . Financial Aid is available and courses are pre-approved to satisfy general studies or major requirments.

ELIGIBILITY

To study abroad, you must meet the minimum GPA requirement in the semester prior to your intended stay abroad. In general, a 2.5 GPA is required. However, check for GPA requirements with your study abroad coordinator since some programs require a higher grade point average. You must also be of at least sophomore standing to participate in the study abroad experience.

FINANCIAL AID

Most students need some form of financial aid to study abroad. Your campus Financial Aid Office will consider you as eligible when you study abroad through any of the programs offered by the New Jersey City University. Check with your study abroad coordinator to find out how financial aid is handled at your home college/university. Your study abroad coordinator will cooperate with you and with the office of Financial Aid in determining your study abroad budget.
