Eligibility
HMC requires students to have a minimun of a 2.5 gpa, yet many programs require a minimum of 3.0.  There are, however, a number of programs that will accept a 2.5 or better.  Applicants should be full-time students, in good standing academically and their student account should be current. Any sanctions due to a judicial case against a student must be completed prior to leaving for abroad plus, a clearance to go abroad should be granted by the Dean of Students.

Attend an Information Session
Study abroad information sessions are held within the first few weeks of each semester. Dates, times and locations are emailed to students at the beginning of the semester. Students must RSVP to the Office of Study Abroad to reserve a spot.

Choosing a Program
A number of factors must be taken into account when considering studying abroad. Things like geographical location, spoken language, living arrangements and program specifics are all important things to think about. Learn more...
