What You Need to Know
At Syracuse University, international education is a tradition dating back to 1919, when SU's first students went abroad to Chungking, China. In 1959, the Syracuse in Italy program opened its doors in Florence to students of all majors and at every language level. The innovative program worked: students learned language on site and the program became the model for SU centers abroad. Today, SU consistently ranks among the top-quality international education programs in the country.
Syracuse currently operates seven overseas centers, in Beijing, Florence, Hong Kong, London, Madrid, Santiago(Chile) and Strasbourg(France). New centers in Africa are under development. Through our World Partners, Summer, and Short-Term programs, SU students have study abroad options in over 20 additional countries.
