We are Nova Southeastern University’s Study Abroad Office. NSU's Sharks Abroad Team is here to help all NSU students explore opportunities to participate in Sharks Abroad programs. Through partnerships with study abroad program providers, faculty-led travel study, and non-credit programs, hundreds of Sharks have visited 6 continents (18% of the world) for memorable experiences.
One of the first things to consider when preparing to go abroad is deciding what type of program is right for you. Whether you choose a Study Abroad Program, Travel Study Program, or Non-Credit Travel Exploration Experience, you will have the option to narrow your search to include unique program components including:
The first step to becoming a Sharks Abroad participant is to attend a Sharks Abroad Information Session. Information sessions are held every week during the academic year (excludes midterm and finals weeks) in the Office of International Affairs, Horvitz Administration Building 2nd floor. Days and times are on our main website and may change from semester to semester.
Federal aid, state aid, loans, grants, and non-NSU institutional scholarships are eligible for use for study abroad. In order to receive most aid during your study abroad program, you must be enrolled as a full-time student (either registered with at minimum 12 credits for the semester or minimum 6 credits for the summer). Our office has several materials on scholarships and financial support for students who wish to go abroad.
You can start the process immediately. The first step is to visit an information session. While the deadline for your specific program may vary, it is important to always apply first to the NSU Study Abroad Application. The deadline for Summer, Fall, and Academic Year Programs is March 1st, while the deadline for Winter/Spring Programs is October 1st of every year.
Deadlines may be flexible. Contact sharksabroad@nova.edu to request an extension.
