New Countries, Expanded Programs: Students Have More Ways to Study Abroad

January 28, 2013

Students can spend their summer exploring the rainforests of Costa Rica to learn about sustainability. Others may choose to examine the cultural treasures of historic Puebla, Mexico, or see Australian kangaroos in their natural environment.

These are some of the life-changing study abroad experiences available this summer through the Office of Global Studies at St. John’s University. “It’s easier than ever for students — undergraduate and graduate — to live and learn in remarkable places while earning credit to stay on track for graduation,” said Matthew Pucciarelli, Associate Vice President for Global Studies. “Whatever their major, they can now choose from more courses in more countries.”
