Summer Study Abroad 2025

Summer study abroad programs usually take place between May and August, for varying lengths of time all around the world. Nearly every program provider and university offers summer semester programs, but not all students explore this exciting opportunity to study abroad. Summer programs are short-term, but that does not mean they are short-lived, studying abroad in the summer can provide all the same benefits a fall semester abroad can, and maybe more.

A Guide to Summer Study Abroad

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! Summer study abroad programs offer a worthwhile experience, allowing students to immerse in a different culture, earn academic credits, and expand their horizons. Programs are shorter in duration, making it ideal for students with other commitments. They can visit new places, enhance their learning through practical learning, and even discover new academic and career interests.

Summer study abroad programs generally take place between May and August, spanning a range of durations, often two to three months or even longer. These intensive programs enable students to earn academic credits in less time compared to a regular semester abroad.

The best study abroad summer programs can vary based on individual preferences, academic goals, and interests. Some popular and highly regarded options include community development in South Africa, Spanish language immersion in Spain, conservation in Costa Rica, or business studies in China, as they often include excursions, language lessons, internships, and service learning opportunities.

Summer study abroad programs can range between $2,000 and $4,500, depending on various factors such as program duration, location, inclusions (excursions, housing, meals, and more), and the university. It is important to research and compare programs, consider scholarship opportunities, and prepare for extra costs such as airfare, travel insurance, and personal expenses.
