As a student athlete, you may be worried that you will not be able to study abroad, but with careful planning and collaboration, the Global Education Office (GEO) can help you go abroad on one of our many programs. We offer programs ranging from our Global Classroom Series courses which go abroad for a week during spring break, to summer semester courses, to full semester programs. Going abroad takes careful planning but is beneficial in the long run. You\u00a0 may even get to experience your sport in a whole new light.<\/span><\/p>\n Below, we have answered some of the questions that may be running through your head.<\/span><\/p>\n When am I allowed to study abroad so it does not clash with my training?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Every sport has different training seasons. This below will give you an idea of what semester program might work for your sport. For our Global Classroom Series which involves a week-long embedded field experience abroad during Spring Break, please talk to your coach to see how this would affect your training and if you are able to participate even if your season is in the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n For basketball and swimming athletes, we recommend a summer semester abroad.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n All athletes can participate in a summer semester abroad as long as Fall-Season athletes return by mid-August.<\/span><\/p>\n There are multiple ways student athletes can continue training while abroad. Some of our partners have their own sports facilities, gyms, or training areas. Students can work with their coach to come up with training exercises they can do while abroad. Some of our partners abroad also have club sports students can join during the semester. Student athletes can join these as long as they do not violate compliance requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We have compiled the regulations you must follow while abroad if you desire to keep playing your sport while on a program.<\/span><\/p>\n As long as you comply with these rules, you can keep playing sports as you would on campus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n NCAA progress towards degree rules still apply because you are officially registered with both the foreign university and Marymount University. To study abroad for a semester, you must be enrolled and pass at least 12 credits to be considered a full-time student to maintain progress towards your degree and to have access to your financial aid. The minimum amount of credits you must take if you decide to go for a summer is 3 credits. Most students take 3-6 credits (1-2 courses) during a summer semester.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our study abroad programs have varying minimum GPAs starting at 2.75 as the minimum GPA for semester programs. Our Global Classroom Series courses have a minimum 2.5 GPA requirement. We can work with you to find a program that works well with your schedule and academics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
