Union Term Abroad In England - Fall
Union International Programs will offer a term abroad at York St. John University during the fall term. The Faculty Member in Residence for fall 2009 will be Judith Lewin.
Course of Study
Union Students will choose three courses from the York St. John catalog.
Eligibility
Students must have an overall GPA of at least 2.5 at the time of application, be in good academic standing when the program begins, and be certified as eligible by the Dean of Students.
Expenses
The inclusive fee covers tuition, room, board and group excursions. It does not cover personal expenses. Travel to and from England and the purchase of an airline ticket are the individual responsibility of each student. All scholarships apply to the program, with the exception of work-study.
Miscellaneous
Housing: Union students will live like York students in dormitories. For some students, meals will be in the University dining hall; others will be given a living allowance to provide their own meals. See Professor Thomas for details.

*Dates to be announced
Students apply for international programs two terms in advance. All international programs are competitive, some highly so. Attendance at a program's informational meeting is essential. Selection criteria include the student's essay, GPA, faculty recommendations, course of study, certification by the Dean of Students, and the selection committee's assessment of the student's capability of adapting to the program's social and academic environment. Should there be additional selection criteria, they will be announced at the informational meeting. The faculty selection committee seeks a group of students with varied academic and intellectual backgrounds and interests. The College urges students to seek advice from their academic advisors and from the international programs office to select programs appropriate to their academic and intellectual interests. While the College is very proud of the unusually high percentage of its students who study abroad, we must note that participation in all programs is limited.
