University Information

Study abroad is now a central part of a liberal arts education, and is considered vital to successful leadership in all academic and professional fields. The Millsaps College Office of International Education (OIE) is dedicated to the promotion and development of international co-curricular opportunities for members of the Millsaps community. Students are encouraged to participate fully in the Millsaps experience by taking advantage of the many study abroad opportunities available. International study typically takes place between the completion of a student’s first and third year of study at Millsaps College. Students may arrange to study abroad for a semester, year, summer, or the winter intersession. The timing of study is determined, in part, by a student’s academic program and progress toward completion of degree requirements.

Students studying languages abroad that are not offered at Millsaps may now satisfy the language proficiency requirement for the B.A. degree by completing a combination of course work with at least two upper-level courses and a written test demonstrating language proficiency, with approval from the Department Chair of Modern Languages.

Students interested in studying abroad for a semester or longer should contact the OIE as much as a year in advance of their intended term of departure, for assistance in planning and program selection. Before proceeding with program selection and beginning the application process FOR ANY NON-MILLSAPS PROGRAM, students MUST meet with an OIE staff member. Programs are located in every corner of the world, cover virtually all interest areas, and typically have one or more of the following foci: academic, fine arts, service, internship, language, and teaching. The OIE provides information on programs sponsored by Millsaps as well as those sponsored by other institutions or providers.

Among Millsaps students, the most popular program choices have historically been those designed, directed, and taught by Millsaps faculty each summer and during the winter term. Millsaps programs are located in Africa, Albania, China, Costa Rica, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Greece, Mexico (Yucatán), Vietnam, and Italy. Participants receive full academic credit for select Core and major requirements without having to worry about transfer credit issues. In addition, direct exchange options are currently offered in Albania, Japan, and Liechtenstein, as well as through ISEP.
