Janet Dudley-Eshbach Center for International Education
The mission of the JDE Center is to link the SU community to the nation and the world. SU students benefit from international students that study abroad in Maryland in degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate programs, as non-degree-seeking visiting exchange students, and studying English as a foreign language in the English Language Institute. SU students travel with the world earning credits towards their degree programs during full semester, summer and winter term study abroad and study away. Global internships help SU students transition from their studies to their professional careers. Global faculty mobility brings global scholars to the SU faculty and helps SU faculty members to continue to be life-long learners.

Study abroad has shown me that I am capable, and spontaneous, traveling and trying new things on a whim while also getting a valuable education. I also have a new appreciation for people - I always walk away having found some common ground and joy with others. We are all actually quite similar and connected in the end.

Frequently Asked Questions
How expensive is it to study abroad?
By clicking on the buttons above called International Student Exchange and National Student Exchange, you can explore ten different international exchange programs and more than 100 study away sites around the USA where you can spend a full semester abroad for the same cost as a semester in Salisbury. In some sites, housing is even less expensive, meaning you could even cover the airfare and some additional travel for the same cost.
Can I study abroad with my major?
Many majors can allow a student to spend a full semester abroad at any time during a four-year degree. There are some majors that cannot allow credits to be earned abroad after sophomore year. Sophomore year is often the best time to be sure you can spend a semester abroad. Remember, that in addition to your major courses, you need to complete your general education requirements and all students must earn 120 credits to graduate. You may find that you can study abroad and earn credits outside your major and make great progress towards your degree.
What if I am not ready to spend a full semester abroad? Are there shorter options?
SU In global campuses and Global Seminars are short-term study abroad programs offered in the month of January and in the summer. The SU In global campuses are like miniature semester-long study abroad but they only last 3-4 weeks. SU professors teach courses during the week at a foreign host campus. In the afternoons, you have time to explore. There are some weekend excursions and some free weekends. You might take one course and your friend might take a different course. Global Seminars are usually only 8-12 days. An SU professor teaches a single course. You do not spend time on any campuses. Housing is usually in tourist hotels and your professor takes you on lots of field trips throughout the week.
Are there scholarships to support study abroad?
The SU Foundation hosts eight different study abroad scholarships thanks to the generosity of friends of the university who have donated to make study abroad more affordable for all students. During the fall and spring semesters, you can bring all your regular scholarships, grants, and financial aid with you. If you receive a Pell Grant, there is a special scholarship funded by the US Department of State called the Benjamin A. Gilman Scholarship that is just to support study abroad for students who receive Pell Grants.
There is a country I want to go to but I do not see an exchange program or SU In global campus or Global Seminar there. Does that mean that there is no study abroad there?
SU has two special partnerships with well-regarded national study abroad providers, the American Institute for Foreign Studies (AIFS) and the School for Field Studies (SFS). AIFS and SFS provide dozens of study abroad sites in places where SU does not have its own partnerships. You can study abroad with AIFS or SFS during fall and spring semesters and during winter term and summer term.
Can I really study abroad for a full semester inside the USA?
SU is an active member of the National Student Exchange (NSE). Through the network, students can spend a semester studying in states that are very culturally and historically different from Maryland. For the same cost as a semester in Salisbury, you could spend a semester in New Mexico, the Virgin Islands, New Orleans, Alaska, or one of more than 150 universities located in every state.
Where can I do a Global Internship?
Students in many majors can do a full-semester internship all over the world. Students in the Seidel School of Education have a special opportunity to do half of the required student teaching internship abroad. Students in the College of Health and Human Services, especially in Social Work, Exercise Science, and Public Health have excellent opportunities to complete an internship abroad. All majors in the Fulton School of Liberal Arts can complete a full-semester internship in cities like Dublin, London, Florence, Barcelona, and more. Fulton School students have the added opportunity of completing an internship along with credit-bearing seminars in one of the great capital cities of the world, Washington DC, through partnership with the Washington Center.
Twenty Days Abroad: A Documentary by Bridget Hayes
SU Media Production major, Bridget Hayes (Class of 2024) articulates in this thoughtful documentary the high-impact learning that can come from study abroad. Some of the transferable skills to post-university life that Ms. Hayes identifies include overcoming challenges, learning to work as a team with peers, appreciating cultural and linguistic diversity, and self-motivation to pursue new opportunities and to take new risks. Ms. Hayes' written narrative as well as her visual storytelling present a compelling vision of high-impact learning through study abroad.

ULACIT was a great university and made adjusting to living and studying in a new country so easy. I will never forget my host family who warmly welcomed me into their family for three months or all the amazing sights I saw including volcanoes, black sand beaches, and vast rain forests.
