About Semester, Year-Long, and January Study Abroad
University of La Verne students may study on six continents for a semester or a year. Through La Verne-affiliated programs, students’ options include traditional places like England, France, and Japan, or unique spots like Jordan, Ghana, and India. To study abroad for a semester, a year, or in January, a student must be at least a sophomore and possess a GPA of 2.75 or above. Foreign language proficiency is required in some countries, but study in many countries is in English. Included in the cost of study abroad are room and tuition, as well as orientation sessions and local and regional visits to historical and cultural sites. Most programs also include meals. Programs have a director on site to provide support. Courses taken through a La Verne-affiliated program are transferable for major, minor, and/or elective classes.

Study tours abroad are taught by University of La Verne faculty as integral parts of selected courses described in the course schedule. Detailed information about study tours can be obtained from the faculty teaching them.
