Study Abroad Programs
Study Abroad Policy
Stephens College has established relationships with the providers listed below. They offer quality instruction and provide assistance for the student “on the ground.” Stephens has affiliation agreements with each of these institutions. These program providers have been approved by the college administration.
There are many opportunities for Study Abroad through a wide variety of sources. In some cases, a student may elect to enroll directly with other entities for Study Abroad. It is important that the student and parent(s) understand that enrollment with a different provider could create issues when transferring credits and might impact the availability of financial aid (if administered through Stephens). It is important that the student discuss alternative programming with the Study Abroad Coordinator before making a decision.
Stephens students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of study abroad programs across the world. No matter the location, students not only study in a different learning environment, but they also experience the cultures of a particular country.
