The Office of International Programs recently hosted its biggest study abroad event of the year! The Study Abroad Fair was held on Tuesday, September 24, and served as the launch of spring break, summer, and fall 2025 study abroad applications. 

On Meredith Abroad programs, students travel with Meredith faculty and take courses abroad to fulfill many major, minor, and general education requirements. Short-term programs range from 10 days to 7 weeks and offer 3-12 credits. The Semester in Italy program offers a full semester of Meredith courses that fulfill general education requirements. Students can also apply for Meredith Affiliate summer and semester programs throughout the world with the college’s trusted and vetted partner programs.
