University Information
Our programs allow students to study around the world and still earn credits that can be used to complete major, minor or general education requirements.
St. Cloud State University has semester-long and academic year programs. In addition, there are short-term opportunities available during Winter Intersession, Spring Break, May Intersession, and both summer session terms.
Each program has specific requirements and we encourage all students (undergraduate, international, nontraditional students, etc.) who have a desire to study abroad to find a program that is right for them.

* Make friendships all around the world.

* Boost your résumé with an eye-catching and original experience.
* Learn an entirely new language, or become fluent in one you have already studied.
