Fall semester study is only for students not returning to Millersville for the spring semester.
Accommodation
Students have the options of an independent apartment rental, residence hall or homestay arrangements within the city of Pamplona.
Eligibility
Most students who have studied abroad have traditionally been juniors. However, Millersville students can and do study abroad anytime after they have completed their first year or 24 credits. A limited number of participants are accepted for the exchange each year, and the selection may be competitive. Students should complete the application for direct student exchange one semester before wishing to go abroad. Please visit the Office of Global Education and Partnerships’ web site for an application, deadlines and more information. Students planning to study at the Public University of Navarra must demonstrate a proficiency in the Spanish language equivalent to Millersville Spanish 202. A minimum of a 2.0 GPA and two recommendations from MU professors are also required. The Director of Global Education and Partnerships will then review applications and a selection will be made shortly thereafter.
Transfer of Credit
Students should work with their advisors to select courses that will fit into their major and General Education Requirements. A request for Study Abroad Resident Credits form, available in the Office of Global Education and 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 the Public University of Navarra will come back to Millersville as transfer courses, as if you had taken them at another U.S. institution. Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog ("Transfer Credit") for the transfer policy.
