The World Awaits You

Study Abroad and Away

The office of Study Abroad & Away Programs is a part of Clark University’s LEEP Center, helping to connect students with opportunities to align their academic and co-curricular interests with credit bearing experiences beyond the Worcester campus. Whether you are looking for a public health practicum in Botswana or an internship in Dublin, we will work with you to provide a credit-bearing educational opportunity beyond the Worcester campus in one of our 50+ programs approved around the globe.

Important Dates & Deadlines

April 1 (TODAY!): Students petitioning for summer transfer credit through study abroad must submit their application. Retroactive credit will not be evaluated.

May 1: Planning to study abroad in Spring 2020? Be sure you have gone to a Study Abroad 101 and submitted an Intent to Study Abroad! This is your last semester to “save your place” for studying abroad in Spring, 2020. Intent forms do not commit you to studying abroad, but do “save your space” so that we know to count you in! Once you do that, it will create a file for you in our office and we will keep you apprised of important deadlines, reminders and updates. You can withdraw your intent at any time.

It is also a great time to start thinking about your application, as the deadline will be Sept 15 in the fall semester.

Study Abroad 101 is required for all students. The following workshops will be held in spring, 2019. Students wishing to apply to study abroad in spring, 2020 should be attending a Study Abroad 101 no later than this semester. All sessions in JC 011, 1:30-2:30pm.
