Eligibility
Most students who study abroad are traditionally juniors. However, Millersville students can and do study abroad anytime after they have completed 24 credits. A limited number of participants are accepted for the exchange each year, and the selection may be competitive. Students should plan to complete the application the semester before wishing to go abroad. A minimum of a 2.0 GPA and two letters of recommendation from MU professors are also required. The Director of Global Education & Partnerships will then interview students and participant selection will be made after the interviews are completed.
Transfer of Credit
Students should work with their advisors to select courses which will fit into their major(s), minor(s), and General Education requirements, if appropriate.
A Request for Study Abroad Resident Credits form, available in the Office of Global Education & Partnerships, must be completed before the student leaves. After the study abroad program is completed and a transcript is sent to Millersville University, the Registrar's Office determines the final transfer of credit. All courses taken at University of Strathclyde will come back to Millersville as transfer credit. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog ("Transfer Credit") for the transfer policy.

Applications for this program are available in the Office of Global Education & Partnerships, Cumberland House. For spring semester study, applications are due by mid September and for fall semester or year-long study, applications are due by mid February.
