Salve Regina encourages students
to study abroad for a semester or year in preparation for working and living in
an interdependent world. Most students find that foreign study enhances their
education immensely. In addition, employers and graduate schools often look for
people who have skills sharpened by study abroad, such as independence,
flexibility and broad-mindedness.
The Office of International
Programs provides advising and assistance to Salve Regina students who wish to
study abroad. In addition to administering short-term programs led by Salve
Regina faculty, we support study abroad through affiliate programs providers
and partner universities, as well as exchange programs.
Global Ambassadors: A group of volunteer students who have studied abroad, Global Ambassadors share their experiences with the Salve Regina community and aid the Office of International Programs in its mission. Click here to apply.
