Study Abroad

Welcome to the world of study abroad at Bryn Mawr College, where discovering the world supports the three rare characteristics that define the Bryn Mawr Woman.

At Bryn Mawr, study abroad:

• Involves “An intense intellectual commitment”
• Promotes a student’s “Purposeful vision of her life”
• Supports “A desire to make a meaningful contribution to the world”

To this end, OIP provides study abroad advising that is intergral to a student’s academic major and assists with the logistical planning of moving abroad and returning to Bryn Mawr.  We coordinate student application and enrollment process to overseas institutions and, in collaboration with appropriate college offices; we assist students with financial planning, academic credit transfer and pre-departure and re-entry orientation programs.

Our services include:

• Assistance in program preparation, including but not limited to, advising on program selection, application procedures, financial planning, and credit transfer

• Information sessions on study abroad and scholarships
• Pre-departure and re-entry orientation for study abroad participants
• A study abroad resource library with information on overseas programs, scholarships for study abroad and program evaluations from study abroad participants
