Before applying, it is important to carefully consider the mental, emotional, and physical challenges of study abroad and to familiarize yourself with the country of interest. Program staff can answer any questions you may have. You can also read the frequently asked questions.
Harvard study abroad programs are selective and require application. Students must be at least 18 years old, have completed at least 1 year of college or be a first-year student, and be in good academic standing to apply. All programs are limited enrollment.
For most programs, application requires a completed online application (available in early December), including a statement of interest in the program, a $50 application fee, and a transcript. Some programs may require additional application materials or interviews.
Program-specific application instructions are outlined on each program’s webpage. Browse our list of programs on the main study abroad page.
