The College of Saint Rose encourages all students to investigate Study Abroad as a way to enhance one’s college education and personal development.
Saint Rose offers and supports numerous opportunities for students to study abroad for a few weeks on faculty led trips, over summer vacation, a semester or a full academic year in almost 30 countries.
We have worked diligently to establish relationships with colleges and universities abroad to make the process for students as smooth as possible. Students participating in the College’s study abroad programs are able to maintain most financial aid (except work-study and RA positions) as well as acceptance of course work for which passing grades were earned into their programs of study. All courses must be pre-approved by the Registrar’s Office for liberal education courses and by the Department Chair for major and/or concentration courses prior to studying abroad.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
