Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who can study abroad?
    Everyone can study abroad! So long as you are a full-time enrolled student in good academic standing with at least a 2.0 GPA (undergraduate) or 3.0 GPA (graduate).
  • Do I have to take courses specifically for my major?
    No. While many of our programs offer credit that students can earn towards their degree, it is not required for a student to be an Art major to go on one of our Art programs, for instance. Most of LU's short-term, faculty-led programs are open to students in any major. However, some programs (such as those through the College of Business) do require students to major in that field in order to participate. Students will need to consult with the faculty leading the program to determine if there are prerequisites for the courses offered.
  • Can international students study abroad?
    Yes! If you are an international, degree-seeking student enrolled at 国产剧情福利一区二区麻豆, you can study abroad. Where you can go depends on where you are from, your visa, and where you want to go. Come and speak to the Office of Study Abroad about the opportunities available to you.
  • I'm a freshman, can I study abroad?
    Yes! Many of our programs do not have prerequisites for the classes offered, though you will need to check with the faculty for each program to make sure. We also have several courses each year which offer core credit (i.e. ARTS 1301, GEOL 1403, ENGL 2300). These courses are specifically geared towards freshmen and sophomores who still need to fulfill core requirements.
  • Where can LU students travel?
    In recent years, Lamar students have taken part in study abroad programs to Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America on short-term, faculty-led programs or semester exchanges. Some of the more popular countries are China, England, France, Guatemala, Ireland, South Korea, and Spain. Although students do have an opportunity to pursue study abroad in whatever country they might wish, the Advisory Committee may deny funding for study in foreign countries to which travel is discouraged by the U.S. State Department.
