Due to the spread of Covid-19, The Citadel has suspended all fall 2020 study abroad programming

HOST UNIVERSITY

NOTE: The Aberystwyth program is open to Business majors and selected Political Science cohort members (which includes students from Intelligence & Securities Studies and History).

Choose Aberystwyth University and you’ll be studying in a location like no other. On the west coast of Wales between Cardigan Bay and the Cambrian Mountains, you’ll be part of a friendly, outward-looking community where the far horizon inspires ambition and aspiration. A place where students have been coming since 1872, drawn by our reputation for teaching excellence and an exceptional student experience.

Aberystwyth University students are among the most satisfied in Wales and in the UK as a whole, according to the annual National Student Survey (NSS) published Friday 27 July 2018.

The latest NSS results show that overall satisfaction amongst students at Aberystwyth University stands at 90% - seven percentage points higher than the average UK figure of 83%.

Aberystwyth is rated the top university in Wales for overall student satisfaction.



COURSE OPTIONS

Students participating in the Global Scholars Program will receive transfer credit from their host university. Therefore, their GPA will not be affected by courses taken during students' semesters abroad on this program. As long as students receive a C or better in their classes abroad, transfer credit will be applied to the students' transcript. The Citadel Office of Study Abroad will take care of pre-approving all course offerings from Aberystwyth for the Global Scholars Program. A complete list of available courses will be attached to this application page once all courses have been approved by Citadel faculty members.


HOW TO APPLY

Students must meet the 2.5 GPA requirement (Political Science cohort students must meet 3.2 GPA) and be in good standing in regards to discipline and conduct here at The Citadel. While the deadline is not until March 15, it is possible that the program can fill up prior to this deadline should the Office of Study Abroad receive a high number of qualified applicants.

Important Steps to Study Abroad:
-Speak with your academic advisor about what classes are needed to stay on track
-Apply for a passport if you do not already have one (visit travel.state.gov to apply for your passport)
-Alert chain of command that you wish to study abroad
-Contracted students should also alert ROTC departments of plans to study abroad
