| GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs are open and accessible to students of varying backgrounds and needs. To apply to GlobaLinks Learning Abroad semester abroad and academic year abroad programs, you must have completed at least the equivalent of one year of full-time study at the university/college level (25-32 credits) by the time you will be a participant of the program. A small number of universities require that participants must be of at least junior-level standing at time of participation. Each university we work with has different eligibility requirements; it is important that you check with the program you are interested in to get specific requirements. You can find specific requirements on each program profile. There is also a GPA requirement set by each university, which can be found on each university profile page. If an applicant has a GPA lower than the requirement of the university, attended a community college, received a questionable academic reference, or been on academic probation, the application will need to be referred to the university and notification of acceptance can take longer. Please contact our office for more information.
If you are currently a freshman in college/university, you can still apply to study abroad at several universities as long as you are at least 18 years old. You must have at least one semester of results on a university or college transcript. Your application will be referred to the university directly for approval and the results of your second semester will be required prior to departure. If you are interested in studying abroad as a freshman, please contact us. Applicants will be considered for admission to a university based on class standing, cumulative GPA, student essay, and academic reference. GlobaLinks Learning Abroad works in conjunction with its partner universities abroad to provide an admission decision within 2-3 weeks of receipt of a student’s completed application. Visit the How to Apply page for complete details on the application process.
