How does GPA factor into the application process?
You will need a minimum GPA of 2.75 to participate in most study abroad programs. Having a high GPA will increase your chances for acceptance into many programs, but is not the only criteria used to determine your eligibility for study abroad. Applications are processed by GPA, however, so those with higher grades receive their first choice of programs. We feel that students with GPAs lower than 2.0 will not succeed away from campus and without the support and resources available to students in the U.S. Students with low GPAs are sometimes denied acceptance into study abroad programs.
