Study Abroad Program Opportunities

EXCHANGE

Spring Semester Only

Overview 
An exchange program provides Morehouse College students to study abroad for a semester while an international student studies on the Morehouse campus. You will pay your normal Morehouse tuition, room, and board to receive the same accommodation at the institution abroad. This program is conducted through ISEP Exchange and spaces in these programs are limited. 

Length 
Exchange programs are a semester long. Currently, these programs are available for spring semester only.  

Eligibility 

Full-time, traditional student with a minimum GPA of 2.5. Classified as a sophomore or junior at Morehouse College during time abroad. In good standing with Morehouse College (academically, financially, health records, and conduct). Students who demonstrate significant financial need and those who receive institutional scholarships will be prioritized for the ISEP Exchange Program. 
 
Cost  
Both institutional and externally funded scholarships may be used to fund an exchange program. ISEP also offers its own scholarships to reduce costs.

FACULTY-LED

Short-term (J-mester, spring break, summer)

Overview
Want to travel with faculty and your fellow Morehouse brothers? This is your chance! Faculty-led programs are short-term and occur during summer, winter break, J-Mester, and spring break. This is a great option for students traveling internationally for the first time. Some faculty-led programs offer academic credit or are part of a course.

Length
Faculty-led programs range between 1-4 weeks.

Eligibility 

Full-time, traditional student of any classification. Graduating seniors are eligible for summer programs if travel dates do not coincide with commencement dates. GPA requirements vary depending on the individual program. 
 
Cost 
Costs vary depending on the specific study abroad program. However, the Office of International Education aims to keep expenses under $3,500. Exact cost breakdowns of each trip can be found on the study abroad program pages.  
 
Fully funded trips cover essential travel costs, including flight, accommodations, ground transportation, and entry fees to required sites. Partially funded trips provide reduced costs but still require the traveler to fund some of the program costs. Unfunded programs require the student to fully fund their study abroad experience. Students who participate in unfunded study abroad programs are eligible to use the Andrew Young Fund for International Scholars, which provides up to $2,400 for students demonstrating financial need.
