Students at the College of St. Catherine are encouraged to incorporate international aspects of education into their academic plans. The Office of Global Studies assists students in identifying overseas opportunities that will serve as an integral part of their academic program at the College of St. Catherine. Programs are by nature experiential, but are also designed to be rigorous academic experiences. They are often physically demanding as well. Students are expected to complete four academic credits in this short amount of time - so do not expect a lot of free time.
Students are guests in another person's culture, or home.
Remember to be respectful and civil - these values are to be practiced on campus as well as abroad. When a student accepts a place on one of these programs, they agree to support the policies and procedures established to help ensure the success of the program. Each person also has a responsibility to make the course the best possible group, personal and academic experience. Remember that there are both freedoms and limitations in community membership. Students are often confused over January Term Abroad sponsorship.
