Semester Programs

Discover where your Seton Hall journey can take you. Seton Hall is a member of the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC), a nonprofit network of global campuses, and has longstanding exchange partnerships with top-tier universities across six continents.

Understand Your Campus Options:
Specialty Campuses: USAC Specialty Campuses provide a highly supported experience, with dedicated consortium staff and faculty available on-site throughout the semester. Students take courses with other USAC students, earn U.S. academic credit, and access the host university’s facilities and activities. USAC also coordinates housing, excursions, internships, volunteer opportunities, and personalized on-site support.
Partner Campuses: Seton Hall’s Exchange and USAC Partner Campuses offer an immersive experience through direct enrollment at an international university. Students generally take courses alongside local and international classmates, earn host-university credits that are converted into Seton Hall credits, and participate in campus life. With guidance from the host university’s international office, students have the independence to shape their academic and social experience abroad.

Next Steps:
• Attend an Study Abroad Advising Session: Learn how to make your international dreams a reality
• Meet with your Academic Advisor: Discuss how study abroad works with your degree
• Understand Costs & Aid: Learn more about tuition, housing costs, scholarships, and financial aid specific to Semester Abroad Programs
• Accessibility Abroad: Request accommodations abroad with DSS at least 6 months before your program starts
