Many options exist for public health students who wish to study abroad. For students who wish to spend a semester abroad, Syracuse University Abroad operates eight Study Abroad Centers where Syracuse University and other university students reside and study. In addition, Syracuse University maintains partnerships with over 60 World Partner programs. Short-term and summer programs are also available. Liberal arts courses are offered at the Syracuse University Center programs and at the World Partner Programs. For students interested in studying public health while abroad, public health core courses are available at World Partner programs in Kenya ( SIT Kenya), India (SIT India) Denmark (DIS Copenhagen), Sweden (DIS Stockholm), South Africa (SIT South Africa), or Australia (University of Queensland, or University of Sidney). The Kenya and India programs also offer the option to complete the required PH internship abroad.

Students wishing to study with a non-affiliated program and receive academic credit must complete the Special Case Petitioning Process. Note: this process should be initiated 9-12 months in advance of the anticipated study abroad semester.
Timing: Public health majors may elect to study abroad during sophomore or junior year (fall or spring semesters), senior year or during summer(fall semester, or summers) .Pre-clinical health students may elect to study abroad during summer or at the SU Center Madrid Health & Science Program.

Advising Reports
All public health majors have a digital Advising Report posted in MySlice under “DegreeWorks”. This report is an advising tool to be used in collaboration with the academic advisor. Students review this report before the advising session to determine which courses have been used to satisfy all degree requirements and to develop a plan for future courses to discuss with your academic advisor.
