“My experience abroad was phenomenal. It was one whirlwind week in London that opened my eyes to a new culture that is strikingly similar to my own, but with marked differences. I learned so much on this trip that will stick with me for the rest of my life!”
Stephanie Wood ’15London
Winter 2012
Comprehend and speak a foreign language more proficiently and in culturally appropriate ways, when studying in a country where the language of the program differs from the student’s native language(s)
StudentLearningOutcome
“When students go abroad they learn to live and act in socially appropriate ways in another country. Learning how to become competent in relating to people from other cultural backgrounds is an increasingly valuable ability in a world that seems ‘smaller’ each day. As students grow and appreciate the value and norms for a meaningful life in other societies, they also gain a much deeper personal understanding of their own cultural background.”
Bill Roberts, professor of anthropology

Many students and their parents start out thinking that study abroad is a costly proposition. While studying abroad does add additional expense (airfare, passport) to the college experience, there are scholarships and financial aid that can make study abroad much more affordable.
Did You Know?
Federal Aid can be transferred to any study-abroad program, including non-St. Mary’s programs.
St. Mary’s scholarships, grants, and state aid can be transferred to any St. Mary’s partner program.
There are numerous College, state, national, and country-specific scholarships available. It is important that students start the application process early and work with the Office of Financial Aid to maximize scholarship opportunities.
