The most important step in preparing to study abroad is finding a program that suits your academics goals and personal interests.
When browsing through your program options, try to ask yourself the 'skills question' that our staff asks at the beginning of each information session: What do you want to do with study abroad? What kinds of skills are you hoping to develop during your time overseas that you can't do here on campus?
Villanova Programs - offer direct enroll at overseas universiites and/or lanugauge immerision. Most VU semester programs include a least one class designed just for Villanova students.
Affliated Programs - offer a wide variety of academic options and many destinations all over the world.
Villanova Programs - led by Villanova Faculty members through Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Programs run from 6-10 weeks over the summer months.
Affiliated Programs - study an academic subject not offered by a Villanova Summer Program. All non-Villanova Summer programs must be at least six weeks long and credit must be approved prior to the spring break deadline.
Finding a program based on academic interests or personal goals is the foundation of the OIS academic advising process. The programs found in each advising sheet below should be used as a starting point in exploring different program options for various majors.
