Study Abroad at John Cabot

Each term John Cabot welcomes study abroad students who attend for one or two semesters or a summer session.

The greatest cultural and academic benefits are gained by those students attending the entire year, but one semester or summer session provides a valuable learning and life experience as well. Students come either individually or as participants in a college or university-sponsored group. All students must have a GPA of at least a 3.0 to be considered for admission to study abroad at JCU.

There are a number of scholarships available for study abroad students. For more information, see our Financial Aid and Scholarships page.

At John Cabot you will find:
  • International Student Body: Americans, Italians, and other students from many countries world-wide
