Complimentary to the Seattle University curriculum, international academic and service programs challenge students to test the theories and analytical approaches to understanding humanity in a dynamic intercultural setting. These experiences produce powerful learning outcomes including:

  • cross-cultural communication and analytic skills
  • a global perspective (a sense of the interconnectedness of people, ideas and problems)
  • polished language proficiency
  • intellectual growth
  • intercultural and field-specific skill development
  • deep self-reflection and exploration of one's relationship with humanity, nature, and spirituality in the Jesuit Catholic intellectual tradition

While participation on a study abroad program is neither a requirement nor an entitlement of a Seattle University degree, several majors and scholarship programs require some type of international experience.

Eligibility for participation includes:

  1. Good academic and conduct standing.
  2. Appropriate academic preparation as defined by the Department sponsoring the program.
  3. Skill and willingness to engage in demanding cross-cultural academic projects.
  4. Flexibility, confidence and fortitude in ambiguous independent situations.
  5. Aptitude to rely on a small, close-knit community of program participants for personal support.
  6. Ability to live and study effectively without requiring regular access to specialized medical care, counseling or other psychological support services.
