Study Abroad Opportunities

Manhattan University encourages students to enhance their education through credit-earning Study Abroad programs. In order to participate, a student must normally have a minimum cumulative grade point index of 2.75. Students can enroll in a semester abroad program or a 3 credit study abroad course after their first semester of study at Manhattan University. Study Abroad for the second semester of senior year is discouraged as it may interfere with graduating on time.

The University sponsors its own full-semester programs and exchange opportunities in a variety of countries around the world, including through the global Lasallian network of universities and universities. Various 3 credit, faculty led courses are also available during January intersession and the summer sessions. Participation in all foreign study programs must be approved by the student's academic advisor of the School in which the student is enrolled as well as by the Office of Study Abroad. Further information is available through the Office of Study Abroad.

Students studying at European partner institutions using the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) can transfer in their earned study abroad credits using the following scale of equivalence:

5 - 6 ECTS = 3 cr. earned

7 - 8 ECTS = 4 cr. earned

3 ECTS = 1 cr. earned

4 ECTS = 2 cr.earned

No credits are earned for courses that carry less than 3 ECTS credits.
