Education Abroad & Academic Advising
An important supporter of the student experience abroad is the academic advisor. During the Exploration phase, students should discuss their desire to study abroad with their advisor to determine the best term for their experience, identify courses to complete abroad, and plan their remaining academic coursework to ensure timely degree completion. Additionally, students can review Seattle University's program requirements to identify which upper-level major courses they need to complete at the university.
- Review Plan your Degree and Schedule your courses on MySeattleU for your plan
- Explore Undergraduate Arts & Sciences Program Requirements - Sample 4-year and 2-year plans
- Select the desired program card, scroll down to learn the Degree at a Glance, select the degree type
When identifying courses to complete abroad, the EAO Historic Course Equivalency Search, can provide insight into courses that other students have previously taken. Although this list is not exhaustive, it can help students estimate the likelihood of similar courses being offered in the future.
Seattle University students typically go abroad Fall Semester/Fall Quarter, and depending on student's majors, undergraduate students in the College of Arts & Sciences go abroad during:
- 2nd Year
- 3rd Year
- 4th Year
- Summers
Students need to meet with their academic advisor to discuss their individualized academic degree plan to determine the best term to go abroad.

Student Experience in Japan
/102x0:367x352/prod01/channel_34/media/seattle-university/academics/education-abroad/photos/Picture1.jpg)
Keila S. studied abroad at Sophia University (Tokyo, Japan)
While applying to study abroad, I reflected on how the experience would benefit me as a psychology major and with my career goal of becoming a therapist. I thought about how to be an effective therapist, I need to have a wide array of experiences and knowledge about the world. Therefore, studying abroad did not only assist me in further developing my Japanese language skills. It allowed me to become familiar with diverse people and be better able to understand different people’s experiences.
