Semester Programs
Marymount University’s Global Education Office helps students from a variety of majors 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 Global Education Office.
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 six 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 such as South Africa, Australia, Czech Republic, Peru, South Korea, France, Ireland,, Japan, Jordan, Spain, and more. Some of these programs are available for summer study as well. Students in these programs receive Marymount transfer credit.
Students who are in the education licensure program have the opportunity to complete seven weeks of the student-teaching experience abroad in such places as New Zealand and Colombia. As part of the education department’s study abroad program, students have been to Uganda, Panama, and Costa Rica. The Global Education Office can also help students who seek alternative study abroad options meet specific academic or professional goals. 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 Global Education Office. To receive credit for any study abroad program, students must complete a course approval form before departure. These forms are available in the Global Education Office. (Students in the Rome Program or short-term Marymount-sponsored programs do not need to complete this form because they 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 is available through the Global Education Office and on the study abroad pages of the Marymount University website. Visit www.marymount.edu and search for "study abroad."
