- Consider your ability to communicate in the country you’d like to visit.
- The length and type of travel required.
- The location by country/city, setting, school size, and community size.
- Personal health considerations: pre-existing health conditions, immunizations, insurance.
- Financial aid and scholarship availability.
The minimum eligibility requirements to study abroad

- Earn a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 before participating in study abroad*

Southeast programs are direct agreements with other universities or organizations.
Exchange Program
This program uses an established relationship or agreement through Southeast that exchanges students with another designated college or university. Costs are equal to Southeast tuition and fees. The duration of these is typically a semester or an academic year.
Faculty Taught Short Term Programs
These programs are administered by Southeast. They are taught by Southeast professors who travel with our students. This study abroad option is usually one or two weeks long, but there are some options available that can last up to a month.
