University Information
Sacred Heart University encourages students to take advantage of our Study Abroad programs. We offer more than 100 programs in over 30 countries, and have campuses in Ireland and Luxembourg. You can choose to spend a few weeks, a semester, or even a year abroad all while earning credits to fulfill general education, elective, or major/minor credits. If you are interested in studying abroad, you will work with the Office of Global Affairs and your academic advisors to plan your experience, from selecting the right program to choosing classes. You can find the Office of Global Affairs, or their Global Ambassadors- SHU students who have returned from studying abroad- at events around campus or in the Office of Global Affairs located in HC 220.
