Drawing on a long-standing tradition in Jesuit education, the International and Study Abroad Programs Office staff is committed to supporting and promoting global diversity as well as helping undergraduate students gain an understanding of some of the complexities that stem from our increasingly interconnected and interdependent world.
How do I apply to study abroad?
If you are interested in studying abroad, you can never start preparing too early. Investigate opportunities that interest you online, and make sure to make appointments with French department faculty and the study abroad office to find the best program for you. Do not hesitate to reach out to department members to learn about the opportunities available!
What is the price difference between studying abroad and studying on campus?
Exchange and partner programs with Fordham have the same tuition per semester as our New York campuses. If you continue to be eligible for financial aid, the aid will transfer over except room-specific aid, work-study, and Metro Grants. You may incur additional fees specific to your program of choice.
What exchange programs are available to me as a French student at Fordham?
The French department at Fordham is currently working to expand upon the abroad programs available to students. Currently, exchange partnerships include CUPA Paris College of Art, EDHEC, Sciences Po: Lille, Sciences Po: Reims, and France/Morocco/Senegal with Academic Programs Abroad. Do not hesitate to reach out to French professors to learn more about these opportunities and which might suit you best!
