International Study Opportunities
Give your education a global dimension through Alverno's
study abroad programs. Alverno offers both longer term and shorter
term international study opportunities. Scholarships through the
Travelship Program help defray the cost of international study or
of attending conferences related to your major.
Alverno has negotiated formal student exchange agreements
with six foreign universities. These exchange programs let you spend
a semester or a year studying abroad at one of our partner universities.
Student exchange is an attractive option for a number
of reasons:
- Since students retain their continuous enrollment
at Alverno, their financial aid formulas and packages remain undisturbed
- These arrangements eliminate the need for the
international transfer of funds
- Since Alverno knows these partner institutions
well, Alverno can provide better advising in terms of credit transfer,
application of foreign credits to Alverno degree requirements,
etc.
The universities are:

Direct Enrollment in Foreign Universities
Many students study abroad by enrolling directly in a foreign university
for a semester or academic year. Alverno's International & Intercultural
Center has established contacts with a number of foreign universities
and will assist those students who wish to study at one of these
schools. In many cases, Alverno staff members have visited these
campuses and met with the administrators who coordinate the international
visiting student programs. In recent years, Alverno students have
enrolled directly in universities in Scotland, Ireland, Denmark,
Italy, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Austria and Spain.
