STUDY ABROAD OPTIONS
STUDY ABROAD PROGRAMS Baruch students may choose from over 100 different programs and locations in 35 different countries. Students don’t have to know a second language to study abroad (though it helps). Most Study Abroad Programs offer facilitated enrollment in a foreign university, or provide courses taught in English in non-Anglophone countries. They may be sponsored by either another CUNY or SUNY international office, or a third party study abroad provider that may provide varying amounts of student support services.
helps students make an international experience a part of their academic degree program. They advise students about opportunities and orient them to overcome financial, curricular or personal obstacles. Baruch College students are eligible to attend study abroad programs ranging from January Intersession and Summer Sessions to a semester or even academic year abroad. Students should think about studying abroad now, and start by attending the bi-annual Study Abroad Fair, which takes place in mid-September and mid-February. These fairs offer a wonderful opportunity for program providers and past participants to speak to Baruch students about the study abroad programs available to them. Exchange students from our partner universities who are studying at Baruch will also staff tables to give Baruch students first-hand information about campus life abroad. Understanding the kinds of academic and cultural experiences our students have abroad will help prospective students integrate study abroad into their overall college career.

PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS FOR STUDY ABROAD
BARUCH EXCHANGES Baruch currently enjoys a wide range of semester-long exchange agreements with universities or business schools abroad. Exchange programs are available in many countries: from Austria to Turkey, with brand new programs in Brazil and Japan.
DIRECT ENROLLMENT Students may enroll directly as a visiting student in a foreign institution of higher education that does not have an exchange agreement with Baruch College.
Any Baruch student wishing to study abroad must submit and have approved an Application to Study Abroad (Available in the Study Abraod Office). This application determines the student’s general eligibility and suitability for studying abroad. Baruch students must submit and have approved any application required by the host university or sponsoring Study Abroad Program provider.
