My GPA is below the 3.0 requirement. Does this mean I can't study abroad?

While all of our programs require a 3.0 GPA or higher, we highly recommend meeting with an advisor to discuss your study abroad options. Some programs have a lower GPA requirements and others are able to give provisional acceptances for GPAs slightly below 3.0. If you have questions about this, please e-mail studyabroad@drexel.edu for more information.

Which majors can study abroad?

ALL MAJORS at Drexel can study abroad. Students should still be aware that some programs are available to all majors, while others are designed for specific majors only. Some programs also have foreign language pre-requisites. Before choosing a specific program, students should think about how the courses offered abroad will enhance their coursework and fit into their plan of study.
