Academic Studies Abroad Program
Eligibility and Application Guidelines


ASA cannot accept applications from outside the United States or Canada.
All classes and programs are at the undergraduate level.


Note to pre-college applicants: Applications from high school graduates who have not yet attended college are considered on a case-by-case basis. All GPA requirements listed below are for current college students and college graduates. In addition to the regular application requirements and documents, for pre-college applicants, we generally look for a higher GPA than the minimum and ask for 2 letters of recommendation, in an effort to ensure proper preparation for a college program. All pre-college applicants are encouraged to speak with an ASA representative about their options!
