Frequently Asked Questions
What is the student experience like on campus?
You will get to experience vibrant campus life at Sagrado, which includes organized cultural excursions, student student clubs, and beach outings. While the program is taught entirely in English, you will have 24/7 on-site staff support to help you navigate daily life, practice your basic Spanish, and feel safe and comfortable in San Juan.
What does the summer program fee cover, and are there financial aid?
Your program fee typically covers your tuition for Summer 1, Summer 2, or both, alongside on-campus housing and mandatory health insurance. You can often apply your existing federal financial aid to this program, and you are highly encouraged to look into study abroad scholarships like the Gilman Scholarship to help lower your out-of-pocket costs.
Do I need a passport to study abroad in San Juan?
Since Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, American citizens do not need a passport or a visa to attend—just a valid government-issued photo ID! Because the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón is a fully accredited U.S. institution, transferring your summer credits back to your home university is usually a seamless process, though you should always double-check with your study abroad advisor before you head out.
Is Puerto Rico safe for students?
San Juan is a welcoming and vibrant city, and the Universidad del Sagrado Corazón features a secure campus with 24/7 security to keep you safe. For getting around the city, students frequently use rideshare apps like Uber or take advantage of public transit options, including the Tren Urbano (San Juan's subway system), which has a station just a short walk from campus.
