Take Your Anselmian Experience Global

Former US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan declared, “In the 21st century, a quality education is an international education.” Saint Anselm College is committed to students broadening their education and exploring their worldview through studying, interning, and volunteering abroad. Students who spend time abroad typically demonstrate greater intercultural awareness, a stronger understanding of complex global issues, and an increased sense of self and maturity.  Data shows that study abroad is a powerful mechanism for increased GPAs and degree completion.  Importantly, critical skills employers seek out and find in successful job applicants include those found in higher levels of individuals who have spent time abroad:  communication, problem-solving/critical thinking and global fluency -- attributes listed in the top 8 competencies most desired by employers as determined by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) identifies

Saint Anselm College's Office of International Programs provides information and advising to students in pursuit of overseas studies including short-term faculty-led educational experiences, as well as traditional semester and year-long terms. Offering more than 70 programs in 26 countries, encompassing semester-long, "May-mester" and summer terms, along with opportunities for service-learning, volunteering and internships -- we have a program that will meet your needs (and dreams!). Students have studied marine biology on the Great Barrier Reef, art history in the museums of Florence, finance in London, language in Madrid, and international relations in Shanghai, China, just to name a few.

Through our Orvieto, Italy Programs students spend the spring semester abroad with fellow Anselmians exploring topics (taught in English) ranging from classics, history, art and architecture, to Italian culture, politics, and theology.

Any credit-bearing study abroad program must be pre-approved by our office. [Note: Orvieto program directors approve students for that particular program.] If you are planning to study abroad or are interested in what opportunities are available, please schedule an appointment with the Director for Study Abroad located in the Jean Student Center, lower level.
