Study Abroad and Find your Place in the World<br />
In keeping with Creighton’s mission to equip students<br />
to live and engage in a globalizing world, the Global<br />
Engagement Office (GEO) offers a variety of study abroad<br />
opportunities for students to expand their skills and<br />
gain new perspectives on their career in a new country,<br />
culture and environment. Programs abroad vary in course<br />
offerings, length and cost. Through the GEO, students<br />
work with a global programs coordinator to select a<br />
program that fits their academic, financial and personal<br />
needs. For more information, send an email to<br />
studyabroadadvisor@creighton.edu.<br />
When do Creighton students study abroad?<br />
Students may study abroad for a full academic year, a<br />
fall semester, a spring semester or a few weeks during<br />
the summer. Choosing the best time to study abroad<br />
will depend upon your major, academic plan and other<br />
activities in which you are involved. Most Creighton<br />
students choose to study abroad during their sophomore<br />
or junior year. The global programs coordinators and your<br />
academic advisor can help you determine the best time for<br />
you to study abroad. Pre-med students should speak with<br />
the EDGE Pre-Health Advisors to determine what term<br />
would be the best time for them to study abroad.<br />
How does financial aid transfer?<br />
The portability of financial aid depends upon the type<br />
of program. Some programs allow portability of both<br />
Creighton and federal financial aid, while other programs<br />
allow portability of only federal financial aid. The global<br />
programs coordinators and the Creighton Financial Aid<br />
Office will assist you in choosing a program that meets<br />
your financial needs.<br />
