Study Abroad

Seattle University has an Education Abroad Office that handles options for student study abroad programs. There are opportunities to go for a quarter, semester, or full school year. Most of these programs are aimed at undergraduate students, as there are a very limited number of classes one can take as a graduate student and receive transfer credit.

In addition to Seattle University's study abroad opportunities, Albers offers a number of short-term courses abroad lead by faculty members, and exchange programs.

Education Abroad Programs

Education abroad programs are set up under an agreement between Seattle University and a foreign university. SU sends students to the foreign university and that school sends students to study here. These programs are often geared toward undergraduate students, as they are a semester abroad experience. The Education Abroad Office provides a list of global opportunities that are great fits for Albers students. Programs in Beijing, China, Seoul, South Korea, Madrid, Spain and Rouen, France are suggested for Albers undergraduate students. Albers Abroad Information Sessions regarding these four programs are provided in the Fall and Winter Quarters.

Summer Education Abroad Courses

Education Abroad Courses are two week in-country classes. The groups explore a country to learn about the culture and history, but also visit local companies for presentations on international business topics. The subject of the course is dependent upon which class you are taking. Classes are given in marketing, economics, e-commerce, to name a few.

Students attend pre-departure classes to familiarize you with the country you are going to visit and begin your class report, which is due at the end of the course. Upon your return, there is a course briefing.
