Overview of Global Engagement Office
Participating in a study abroad program, whether to study, intern, research or volunteer, is a life-expanding experience.
Global Engagement helps each student meet their individual aspirations.
The first step is to consider what kind of study away or study abroad you are looking for -- whether a short-term travel course led by Roanoke College faculty or a longer experience over the summer or over an entire semester or academic year.
Requirements for Study Away
Students who wish to study away typically should have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 at the time of application and prior to departure. Only full-time , degree-seeking students are eligible for Roanoke College approved study away programs. Students should be aware that some programs may have more rigorous admissions requirements.
