In addition to our semester, year long, and study tour options, Loyola also offers a number of independent and faculty-led summer programs. Please contact trip leaders for information and program deadlines. All students wishing to participate in a summer program must apply through the office of international programs. There is a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA requirement for all summer programs.  All students must meet with the program director in order to receive access to the online application. All summer study abroad program fees will go to Yvette McMillan-Bell is Student Administrative Services (SAS) on the ground floor of Maryland Hall.  Accepted students will have one meeting and one pre-departure orientation with their program director to review paper work, safety measures, packing details, and all necessary information prior to departure.

Non-Loyola

Students have the option to select a non-Loyola summer program. The program selected should fit into their academic course of study. Once students have selected a study abroad program, they should do the following:

  • Students must have their non-Loyola program approved by the office of international programs.
  • Students must complete the Summer Abroad Program Approval/Transfer Course Request Form by March 1.
  • The non-Loyola program must meet the minimum program requirement of at least 39 contact hours and four week duration. 
  • Courses and credits earned abroad must be recorded on an official transcript from a four year, accredited (either in the United States or abroad), degree-granting institution.
  • Students applying directly to a university abroad will have to submit proof the university abroad is accredited through the Ministry of Education in that host country.
  • Once the program has been approved, students will need to have their course(s) approved by the department chair.
  • Students must earn a grade of 2.00 (C or higher) in each approved course.
  • Grades are not transferable, but are used to calculate Honors at graduation.
  • The Summer Abroad Program Approval/Transfer Course Request Form and all documentation required for approving a non-Loyola summer abroad program must be completed and submitted by March 1.
  • Materials submitted late may not be approved.
